9:05:28 AM
JULI LUCKY, STAFF, SENATOR NATASHA VON IMHOF, discussed the
proposed committee substitute for SB 16. She explained that
the bill had been crafted in the attempt to remedy a
situation where licenses had been given outside the
statutory authority, an audit had found that the board had
given some licenses that had not met the statutory
definition. Statutory definitions had since been created
for each of the licenses in question, but there were some
licenses that were hard to categorize.
Ms. Lucky read from an Explanation of Changes document
(copy on file):
Adds a new "musical festival permit" that would
allow a restaurant or eating place license holder
to serve beer and wine at an annual music
festival. This is limited to one festival lasting
10 days or less per year. [Section 9; also
conforming changes in sections 1, 10, 12]
Adds a grandfather clause to allow recreational
site licenses to be renewed or transferred if
they were valid on December 31, 2018 and are
operating according to the terms of their license
but were subsequently determined by the board to
not meet the statutory definition of
"recreational site license." A retroactive
effective date and transitional language has been
added to ensure that licenses can be reinstated
and renewed if they expired between December 31,
2018 and the bill's effective date. [Sections 5,
16 and 18]
Increases the number of special events permits
that can be granted to a nonprofit fraternal,
civic, or patriotic organization to 12 per year
(current limit is five). [Section 8]
Reworded the language in section 15 at the
request of the department. The changes do not
affect the intent of the section.
Technical changes to remove obsolete language in
sections 8, 10, 17
9:09:50 AM
Ms. Lucky continued to address the Explanation of
Changes:
Removes the requirement that a nonprofit
organization be active for a period of at least
10 years before filing an application for a fair
license [v. U page 4, lines 3-4]
Removes the limit of one fair license per borough
[v. U sections 8 and 9]
Ms. Lucky explained that no additional cost was expected;
however, as the new permits came online, additional revenue
could be generated. She had requested updated forthcoming
fiscal notes.
9:10:56 AM
Co-Chair von Imhof WITHDREW her objection. There being NO
further OBJECTION, it was so ordered. The CS for SB 16(FIN)
was ADOPTED.
Senator Micciche thanked Co-Chair von Imhof's staff for
their work. He thought the intent of the bill was to
support operating businesses.
9:12:13 AM
Senator Wilson MOVED to report CSSB 16(FIN) out of
Committee with individual recommendations and the
accompanying fiscal notes. There being NO OBJECTION, it was
so ordered.
CSSB 16 was REPORTED out of committee with a "no
recommendation" recommendation and with one forthcoming
fiscal note from Department of Commerce, Community and
Economic Development; and one previously published zero
fiscal note: FN 2(REV).
