A 8835: Requires the chair of the state liquor authority to make quarterly reports to the governor and the legislature of the authority's enforcement activities for the preceding quarter.
What A 8835 does, verified January 8, 2026
The proposed law aims to increase transparency in the state's liquor authority by requiring the chair to submit quarterly reports. These reports will include information on enforcement activities, such as inspections, summonses issued, fines or penalties incurred, and establishment closures. The reports will be made publicly available on the authority's website and the state's open data portal, and will be in a machine-readable format. The law also ensures that personal information is not reported in a way that would violate federal, state, or local laws related to privacy. The amendments will take effect on January 1 of the following year, but will not affect the expiration of the existing section.
