Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 2185 removed a specific section related to the nonenforcement of certain liquor sales regulations for restaurants. This change emphasizes that starting January 1, 2024, restaurants that primarily sell food (at least 90% of their revenue) will not be penalized for exceeding certain limits on liquor sales. This is significant as it aims to support restaurants by allowing them more flexibility in their alcohol sales, which could help boost their overall revenue and recovery from loss during the pandemic.
