OK close for liquor-by-the-drink bill
The Associated Press
The Senate-passed measure would allow restaurants to become liquor-by-the-drink establishments, as soon as it takes effect after the governor sign it and it is published in the Kansas Register, the state's official publication. That usually takes about a week.
TOPEKA — Public restaurants would be allowed to sell liquor by the drink in 36 counties of Kansas under a bill the House Federal and State Affairs Committee endorsed yesterday, sending it to the House for debate.
The committee heavily amended the bill before sending it to the full House, but there was virtually no discussion ahead of the vote to endorse the entire proposal.
The bill enacts a constitutional amendment that voters approved last November.
Besides creating the new type of drinking establishments, those that get at least 30 percent of their business from food sales, the measure also overhauls other state liquor laws.
As the bill passed the Senate three weeks ago, it dealt mostly with carrying out the amendment. The House committee included in the measure changes in other state liquor laws.
However, State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington, the committee chairman, said he did not expect any of the panel's amendments to slow the bill's progress through the House or cause any problems in the Senate. He said he will return for consideration of amendments that his committee added.
Miller said that he thought the bill would not be debated in the House until next week, giving the Legislature's staff time to prepare amended
copies of the bill.
"Most of what we did was fine-tuning on what the Senate had done already," Miller said.
Most of what we did was fine-tuning on what the Senate had done already.'
Under the proposal, the new drinking establishments could be open seven days a week, including election days, closing only between 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. each morning.
The bill also would allow the 69 counties in which voters did not

approve the amendment in November to reconsider the proposition every two years. Elections could be forced by petitions signed by 10 percent of the voters in the county's last general election. County commissioners also could put the question before voters.
In addition, the structure of the liquor industry would be changed to allow wholesalers to sell beer and kegs of wine to private clubs and liquor by the drink establishments. Now, clubs can buy only from retail liquor stores.
The committee also voted to close loopholes created by the bill's establishment of a caterer's license. Under the Senate-passed version, the caterer would have almost no restrictions on the license. John Lamb, director of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, called such a license "a liquor-by-the-drink license on wheels with no controls."
