ID S1381

Establishes a new resort city restaurant liquor license allowing restaurants in qualifying resort cities to serve liquor, notwithstanding existing population-based licensing limitations.

Defines "resort city" as a city more than 15 miles by road from any city with 50,000+ population that has sewage flows exceeding low-season flows by 20% or more.

Requires that at least 60% of gross sales be derived from food services (not liquor sales) for initial issuance and license renewals.

Limits issuance to a maximum of three licenses per resort city with mayor and city council approval, prioritizing applications filed before July 1, 2024.

Prohibits liquor sales outside approved areas, requires liquor sales to cease when food service ends, and prevents restaurants from operating as bars or lounges; licenses are non-transferable and cannot be sold or leased.
