Assembly BillIntroduced
A 7269: Prohibits the liquor authority from revoking, suspending, or canceling a retail licensee's license without a hearing when the holder of the license was issued a summons for a violation that is unrelated to the sale or consumption of alcohol on premises.
What A 7269 does, verified January 8, 2026
The proposed law aims to protect retail licensees from having their licenses revoked, suspended, or canceled without a hearing. A summons for a violation unrelated to the sale or consumption of alcohol on the premises will not result in immediate license action. The licensee will be given an opportunity to be heard and provide reasons for not revoking, suspending, or canceling the license. If a hearing is not provided within 30 days of serving the summons, the liquor authority will not take further action until the summons is adjudicated in court. The law will take effect immediately and apply to all summons issued on or after the effective date.
