Law 23-50 updates the ABC Board's enforcement powers including revoking a licensee’s license if the Board has cause to believe that the licensee has been evicted from or has otherwise vacated the licensed premises. It removes some burdensome requirements from internet licensees that are not in furtherance of peace, order, quiet, and public safety. It clarifies that unless otherwise authorized wholesalers and manufacturers are not permitted to sell alcoholic beverages to an unlicensed person and that wholesalers are required to store products in the District of Columbia for a minimum of 4 hours at the licensed location and keep inventory records. It also, among other things, requires the Office of Tax and Revenue to notify the Board when a licensee is the subject of a citation, revocation, or other enforcement action.
