(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Indiana commission tasked with a reform of the state’s alcohol laws will finalize its recommendations for the General Assembly at the end of the month.
It's likely those recommendations will deal almost entirely with the state's alcohol permit system.
Commission members proposed and discussed potential recommendations at their meeting Friday. One suggestion is to eliminate the state's quota system, in which the state controls how many alcohol permits are allowed in communities.
The commission also discussed significant reform of the permit escrow system. Right now, people can buy permits from the state and hold on to them without using them for years if their business isn't ready to open.
The commission plans to vote on its final recommendations Sept. 28.
