Emergency preamble.  Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, the spread of the novel coronavirus disease referred to as COVID-19 has 
created a public health emergency; and
Whereas, in response to the public health emergency, the Governor has issued 
executive orders limiting the ability of restaurants and other businesses to sell liquor for 
on-premises consumption; and
Whereas, the limitation on selling liquor for on-premises consumption has led to 
decreased revenue for those businesses and a corresponding decreased ability to timely pay 
license renewal fees; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  One-time waiver of fee for license renewal.  Notwithstanding any 
provision of law to the contrary, an applicant for renewal of an on-premises retail license 
issued by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Alcoholic 
Beverages and Lottery Operations under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 28-A is not 
required to pay a license renewal fee for that license in 2021.
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation 
takes effect when approved.
SUMMARY
This bill temporarily exempts restaurants and other entities seeking renewal of a license 
to sell beer, wine or spirits for on-premises consumption from any license renewal fee in 
2021.
