a bottle club, within their respective jurisdictions and not located
in a municipality levying an occupation tax as provided by Section

issuance and regulations of licenses. No county may prescribe rules
or regulations in conflict with or in addition to the statutes of
this state or the rules of the ABLE Commission. No licensee shall
be held liable for engaging in business otherwise authorized under
this act with any other mixed beverage, beer and wine, caterer,
