Introduced·2/27/26
Ment Text

Louisiana HB687 regulates alcohol permit issuance and revocation near sensitive locations.

Louisiana HB687 amends existing law to restrict the issuance of alcohol permits for premises within 300 feet of public playgrounds, churches, synagogues, public libraries, schools, full-time day care centers, correctional facilities, or historic neighborhoods. The bill mandates the revocation of permits when such premises are sold, though reapplication is allowed. It also allows municipalities to measure distances using a straight line and permits parish ordinances to extend the prohibition to 500 feet. The changes apply to new permits issued after the ordinance adoption.
