636 OLR Bill Analysis SB 263 (File 6, as amended by House "A" and Senate "A")* AN ACT CONCERNING CLUB PERMIT AND NONPROFIT CLUB PERMIT FEES.
SUMMARY This bill reestablishes the club and nonprofit club alcoholic liquor permits and eliminates current provisions that allow these permittees to receive a cafe permit.
PA 19-24, among other things, combined various permits for on-premises alcohol consumption into the cafe permit, including the club and nonprofit club permits.
The bill allows cafe permittees who were issued their permit for a club or nonprofit club before July 1, 2021, to continue to hold the permit until it is due for renewal or until the replacement permit established by the bill becomes available.
The bill requires the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) commissioner to refund a portion of the cafe permit annual fee paid by prior club and nonprofit club permittees between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021.
Specifically, the commissioner must refund any amount that a prior holder of (1) a club permittee paid in excess of $300 and (2) a nonprofit club permittee paid in excess of $815.
Under current law, the annual fee for a cafe permit is $2,000.
The bill also makes various conforming and technical changes.
*Senate Amendment “A” replaces the underlying bill (File 6), which reduced the cafe permit annual fees for prior club and nonprofit club permits.
*House Amendment “A” (1) changes the effective date for the reestablished permits and conforming and technical changes, from July 1, 2021, to upon passage, and (2) makes additional technical and conforming changes.

The annual fee for a nonprofit club permit is $815.
