NC H884

Allows ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) elections to be called in townships meeting specific criteria: located in a county with only one incorporated municipality with population under 2,500 as of the 2010 census, where ABC stores exist in the municipality but not elsewhere in the county.

Requires the county to be completely surrounded by other North Carolina counties without sharing a state border, and part of the township must be within 1,000 feet of a municipality in another state with population between 35,000 and 45,000.

Elections may be initiated by the county board of commissioners or petition from 25% of registered voters in the township, conducted by the county board of elections using standard procedures.

Treats township elections the same as county elections under ABC law, with townships functioning as counties and municipalities within them as cities for regulatory purposes.

Excludes incorporated municipality areas from elections and permits, and requires establishments to have greater gross receipts from food and non-alcoholic beverages than from alcoholic beverages to qualify for permits.
