Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that an applicant for a license (instead of retail license) from the State Commission shall submit an application stating specified information. Provides that an applicant who has ever had a previous liquor license within or without the State that was suspended or revoked (instead of any previous liquor license suspended or revoked) must submit that information and the reasons for the suspension or revocation to the Commission. Adds a requirement that an applicant for licensure must submit whether the applicant, its subsidiary, affiliate, or any officer, member, or partner currently holds any license issued by the State Commission. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that an applicant for a retail license from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission shall, in addition to other existing requirements, provide a statement that the applicant has not received or borrowed money or anything of value, other than merchandising credit in the ordinary course of business for no more than 30 days (instead of 90 days), from a manufacturer or distributor. Provides that an applicant for any manufacturer's license from the State Commission shall submit information that discloses whether the applicant, its subsidiary, affiliate, or any officer, associate, member, or partner currently holds any license, or holds more than a 5% interest in an entity that holds any license, issued by the State Commission. In language mandating that a liquor license applicant report a felony conviction deletes provision stating that the conviction shall not operate as a bar to licensing. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that in addition to other requirements, any change of ownership of or any transfer of an interest in a retailer's license shall not be approved by the State Commission if the licensee owes a debt on the licensee's inventory to an Illinois licensed distributor and if the retailer is delinquent in the payment of the debt under the cash beer law or the 30 day credit law.
