OLR Bill Analysis
SB 263
AN ACT CONCERNING CLUB PERMIT AND NONPROFIT CLUB
PERMIT FEES.
SUMMARY
This bill reduces, from $2,000 to $815, the annual fee for a cafe
alcohol permit for prior club or nonprofit club permittees. Prior to PA
19-24, which consolidated various permits for on-premises alcohol
consumption into the cafe permit, club permit and nonprofit club
permit fees were $300 and $815, respectively.
Under existing law, permit application fees paid to the Department
of Consumer Protection (DCP) are generally non-refundable. The bill,
however, requires the DCP commissioner to refund any portion of the
annual fee a cafe permittee paid in excess of $815 on or after July 1,
2020.
