Background:Last year Governor Kemp signed HB 879 into law. The legislation amends the state laws governing five categories of alcohol regulation: centralized permitting, Sunday sales of alcohol, home delivery of alcohol, local control of distance requirements, and pouring events at package stores…. The proposed amendments do not include centralized permitting or home delivery of alcohol; proposed amendments for these regulations will be presented once the Department of Revenue provides additional guidance for implementation….Included in this agenda item are amendments for the definition of premises, Sunday hours of sale, regulations for pouring events at package stores, and revisions for clarity to the brown bagging regulations and single event license regulations. Analysis:The proposed amendments will keep the Augusta Alcohol ordinance current with the State alcohol codes, and provide clarity where needed. 1. Sec. 6-2-2. Premises. The Department of Revenue amended the definition of premises to mean ‘one physically identifiable Place of Business operated by the same ownership and overall management with only one address registered as a single Place of Business with the local licensing authority and the State of Georgia’. 2. Sec. 6-2-14. Hours of sale (Sunday) Consider amending alcohol ordinance to allow retail alcohol licensees to begin selling on Sunday at 11 a.m. ….Currently restaurants with on-premise consumption alcohol licenses may sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits beginning at 11:00 a.m. The Augusta Commission at the July 17, 2018 Cover Memo Item # 4 Commission meeting, approved an amendment to the alcohol ordinance that would allow restaurants to begin selling at 11:00 a.m., rather than 12:30 p.m., upon approval of a referendum to provide for the sale of alcohol on Sundays beginning at 11:00 a.m., in accordance with Senate Bill 117. The voters approved the referendum in the November 6, 2018, General and Special Election…. HB 879 provides that municipalities where retail package sales of malt beverages, wine, as well as distilled spirits have been authorized on Sunday’s from 12:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., pursuant to a referendum, and where sales of alcoholic beverages by the pour (on-premise) on Sundays begins at 11:00 a.m. authorized pursuant to a subsequent referendum, the local governing authority may allow, by adoption of a resolution or ordinance, for package sales by retailers of malt beverages, wine and distilled spirits on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. until 12:00 midnight. 3. Sec. 6-2-56. Brown bagging, etc. (a) No individual shall be allowed to consume alcoholic beverages in a business with an occupation tax certificate from Augusta-Richmond County that does not have a license for on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages under this ordinance.
