AI Summary

  • Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934 by adding Section 3-12(a)(15.5) to require the Illinois Liquor Control Commission to establish minimum pricing rules for alcoholic liquors sold in bars and restaurants.

  • Authorizes the Commission to adopt rules establishing a standard of minimum prices as a means to reduce sales of cheap alcoholic beverages that contribute to binge drinking.

  • Adds this pricing provision to the Commission's existing powers and duties under the Liquor Control Act without specifying what the minimum prices should be.
