SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 195 would add a new section to the Liquor Control Act, which would make it a
violation of the Liquor Control Act for a person licensed to sell alcohol to sell alcoholic
beverages that had been refrigerated or otherwise cooled or chilled in any manner for
consumption off the licensed premises. Anyone found guilty of violating this new section would
be charged with a fourth degree felony. SB 195 is submitted with an Emergency clause, making
it necessary to enact the statute immediately upon passage.
