✅What it would do: Question 3 ✅

Question 3 would overhaul the state’s licensing for alcohol sales by introducing some new rules for stores. Restaurants and bars would not be impacted. The proposal would do the following:

1-Expand the number of liquor licenses a single retailer or company can hold for their chain, gradually doubling it from nine to 18 by 2031.

2-Impose a limit on “all alcoholic beverages” licenses to seven per retailer, meaning a retailer could only sell the combination of beer, wine and hard liquor at seven of its locations.

3-Ban retailers from allowing customers to check out alcohol themselves.

4-Implement a new formula that increases fines for retailers who violate liquor laws.

5-Allow people with out-of-state licenses to use their license as proof of age.

A “yes” vote would allow the above changes to take place.
