South Charleston Council Tightens Liquor Law Ordinances
WEST VIRGINIA....
The South Charleston council has advanced two proposed ordinances dealing with liquor sales at restaurants and bars, one requiring special permits for restaurants and bars serving alcoholic beverages and the other prohibiting those permits from being transferred to other businesses. Mayor Frank Mullens says restaurants and bar owners hoping to open businesses in the city must obtain permits from the planning commission, and those permits are not transferable. Mullens says the ordinances would clean up the language of something already practiced by closing potential loopholes and leaving no room for confusion.
