Endorse state bill allowing cities to phase out problem liquor stores
In Plain English
Senate Bill 148 would let cities set deadlines for liquor stores that become zoning violations when neighborhoods change. Currently, these stores can operate indefinitely even if they no longer fit the area's zoning rules. If the state passes this bill, Richmond could require problem liquor stores to relocate or close within a reasonable timeframe.
