4 retail privileges that are licensed pursuant to the alcoholic beverage
5 control law to receive a credit to the next renewal of their license on
6 a pro-rata basis for each inactive day, up to a maximum of three hundred
7 sixty-five days. An inactive day shall mean each day between March 7,

9 ment response to the pandemic, the licensee was closed, or ceased all
10 on-premises retail business functions that require a license under the
11 alcoholic beverage control law. The on-premises licensee and any manu-
12 facturing licensee with on-premises retail privileges shall document to
13 the state liquor authority, on a form provided by the authority, the
14 number of inactive days, up to a maximum of three hundred sixty-five
15 days, that they are claiming for a credit to be added to their next
16 retail on-premise license renewal.

18 deemed repealed January 1, 2024.
