The fee for the initial license issuance is $210,000, or $150,000 if 10 percent of the alcoholic beverages sold are produced by certain licensed entities. The license is non-transferable and remains appurtenant to the qualifying motion picture exhibition facility. The bill takes effect on the first day of the fourth month following enactment.
