Laws 2018, LB1120, § 17.
The plain language of this section does not allow a county to revoke a liquor license based upon a resolution. DLH, Inc. v. Lancaster Cty. Bd. of Comrs., 264 Neb. 358, 648 N.W.2d 277 (2002).
The provisions of this section give a local governing board the authority to cancel or to revoke a liquor license, providing that a multistep process is followed. Any cancellation or revocation is subject to appeal to the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission. Luet, Inc. v. City of Omaha, 247 Neb. 831, 530 N.W.2d 633 (1995).
This section, as amended by L.B. 781, is unconstitutionally vague and unconstitutionally delegates legislative power. Kwik Shop v. City of Lincoln, 243 Neb. 178, 498 N.W.2d 102 (1993).
The action of five members of the city council, in recommending denial of a liquor license, must be considered a nullity and, therefore, not a denial when a city ordinance requires a quorum of six before business may be transacted. Bond v. Nebraska Liquor Control Comm., 210 Neb. 663, 316 N.W.2d 600 (1982).
This section authorized ordinance which provides that any liquor licensee who voluntarily closed his licensed premises for ten days without permission shall have elected to discontinue business under such license. Bali Hai', Inc. v. Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, 195 Neb. 1, 236 N.W.2d 614 (1975).
