HI HB1465

Clarifies that "managers" of limited liability companies are included alongside "members" in liquor license statutes, and distinguishes between member-managed and manager-managed LLC structures.

Allows liquor licensees to place licenses with the commission for safekeeping while not operating, rather than being forced to cancel licenses during temporary business closures.

Exempts officers and directors of publicly-traded companies from criminal history record checks and notification requirements unless they are designated as primary decision-makers regarding liquor purchases and sales.

Permits partnership interest transfers to remaining partners or trusts without public hearing upon death or withdrawal of a partner, and expands notification requirements from prior approval to written notice within thirty days.

Adds prohibition on officers/directors from coercing or unduly influencing designated primary decision-makers to engage in unlawful liquor sales activities, with authority for license suspension or cancellation.
