HB 5293 Summary

• Repeals Section 30-10 of the general statutes, removing specific procedural requirements for municipal voting on alcoholic liquor sales effective July 1, 2020.

• Changes the default rule so alcoholic liquor sales are permitted in all Connecticut towns unless a town votes to prohibit them, reversing the prior regulatory framework.

• Removes references to Section 30-10 from the general definitions statute (Section 9-1) to conform terminology across statutes following the repeal.

• Streamlines the municipal voting process for alcohol regulation by eliminating procedural requirements previously outlined in the repealed section.
