ID H0258

Amends Idaho Code Section 23-948 to allow waterfront resort liquor licenses for applicants whose restaurant and water frontage are separated by a public right-of-way, provided all other requirements are met.

Maintains existing waterfront resort definition requiring 200 feet of lake or reservoir frontage (minimum 160 acres) or river frontage with average 6-month flow of 11,000 cubic feet per second, plus suitable docks or boat-launching facilities.

Retains two alternative pathways for qualification: hotel/motel with 50+ persons capacity and full-service restaurant serving at least 2 meals daily for 4+ months per year, or 3,000+ square feet of public use space with restaurant and parking for 50 automobiles.

License fees remain the same as prescribed for golf courses under Section 23-904, except licenses within city or village corporate limits are charged at the local rate for other licensees.

Previously issued waterfront resort licenses remain valid and transferable even if the underlying lake, reservoir, or river subsequently fails to meet the physical requirements specified in the statute.
