HB 384 Original 2016 Regular Session Havard
Abstract: Adds criminal charges as possible penalty for misstatements or suppression of
facts in applications for alcoholic beverage permits.
Present law provides that the misstating or suppressing of facts in applications for an
alcoholic beverage permit may result in the denial, withholding, or suspending of the permit,
but does not provide the possibility of criminal charges.
Proposed law adds the filing of criminal charges in addition to the denial, withholding, or
suspending of an alcoholic beverage permit if an applicant misstates facts or suppresses facts
in the application process.
