AB26,1,2
1An Act to amend 125.51 (3) (e) 2. of the statutes;
relating to: the fee for initial
2issuance of a reserve "Class B" license.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires each municipality to establish a fee for the initial issuance
of a reserve "Class B" license, which authorizes the sale of intoxicating liquor on or
off the premises where sold. With specific exceptions, current law prescribes a
minimum fee of $10,000 for the initial issuance of the license, but prescribes no
maximum amount for the fee. The fee is payable to the municipality issuing the
license.
Under this bill, the fee for initial issuance of a reserve "Class B" license is an
amount established by the issuing municipality, but not less than $500 nor more
than $10,000.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
