STATE GOVERNMENT-TECH

State of Illinois

Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Removes language providing that specified fines may not exceed $500 for each violation and that each day that the activity, which gave rise to the original fine, continues is a separate violation. Removes language providing that a rectifier may make sales and deliveries of alcoholic liquor to retailers. Requires an applicant for a retail license to provide the applicant's primary and supplementary email address to which all license-related notices may be served. Provides that certain licenses shall not be revoked or suspended except after a hearing by the State Commission with reasonable notice to the licensee served by electronic or other reasonable means (instead of by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested) at least 10 days prior to the hearings at the last known place of business of the licensee or to the licensee's primary or supplemental email address and after an opportunity to appear and defend. Effective immediately.
