     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  any on-premises licensee and any manufacturing licensee with on-premises
     3  retail  privileges  that are licensed pursuant to the alcoholic beverage
     4  control law shall receive a credit to the next renewal of their  license
     5  on  a  pro-rata  basis  for each inactive day, up to a maximum of ninety
     6  days. An inactive day shall mean each day between  March  15,  2020  and

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

    17  deemed repealed January 1, 2023.
