Planning, managing and
policing hospitality zones relies upon a clear and open
communication between local interest groups and state
alcoholic beverage regulatory agencies. The 21st amendment
to the U.S. Constitution established the state role for
licensing and regulating alcoholic beverage businesses.
Thus, the structure of these agencies, and the roles,
responsibilities and relationship to local authorities
varies from state to state.
This roundtable panel
will present observations by two nationally recognized
attorneys with expertise on state alcoholic beverage
regulations. They will present their view on the "best
practices" of state alcohol regulatory agencies working with
local government and businesses to maximize opportunity for
development while minimizing risk to public safety. As our
nation approaches the century anniversary of prohibition,
they will seek to clarify how regulations have kept pace
with changes in on-premise dining and entertainment
establishments, as well as identify emerging challenges
requiring more focused strategies. |
