Licensing after prohibition on sale except in premises operated by municipality.
Official statutory text
(a) If a majority of the voters vote under AS 04.11.491 (a)(3) to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages except on premises operated by the municipality, the board may not issue, renew, or transfer between persons or locations a license for premises located within the boundaries of a municipality and in unincorporated areas within five miles of the boundaries of the municipality, with the exception of the type of license listed on the ballot and operated under a license held by the municipality. A license in effect is void 90 days after the results of the election are certified. A license that expires during the 90 days after the results of a local option election are certified may be extended, until it is void under this subsection, by payment of a prorated portion of the biennial license fee.
(b) The local governing body of a municipality shall apply for a license to operate the type of licensed premises listed on the ballot under AS 04.11.491 (a)(3) and approved by a majority of the voters. The municipality shall operate the premises subject to the conditions and fees applicable to the type of license. Nothing in this section precludes a municipality from applying to be a licensee under other provisions of this title.
