Licensing & Administrative Procedures
3/7/2001
Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Under current law, statutory provisions and rules for certain permit
holders do not apply to a food and beverage certificate holder unless the
statutory provisions and rules specifically refer to the food and beverage
certificate holder.  House Bill 1793 modifies language to delete that
requirement. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 1793 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to provide that surety
bond requirements do not apply to a holder of a food and beverage
certificate under provisions relating to a holder of a wine and beer
retailer's permit, a mixed beverage permit, a private club registration
permit, or a retail dealer's on-premise license. 

EFFECTIVE DATE
