From the Legislature

As introduced, Bill 26-369 would clarify that the ABC Board may limit a licensee’s hours of operation and permitted hours for an entertainment endorsement, summer garden, and sidewalk café. It further clarifies that ABCA investigators are not required to enter a District resident’s home to substantiate a noise violation by permitting the finding of a violation if the noise can be heard outside within a certain distance of a resident property. The bill also establishes a separate fine schedule for noise violations and allows the ABC Board to suspend a liquor license and place restrictions on certain licensee endorsements following a fourth or subsequent noise violation within a two-year period.
