To declare the existence of an emergency, due to Congressional review, with respect to the need to amend subsection 807.1 of Title 23 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations to revise the definition of an "egregious" first-time sale to minor violation, and clarify that an Alcoholic Beverage Control Board licensee that can be established to have had a pattern of prior alcoholic beverage sales or service to minors has committed an "egregious" first-time sale to minor violation and is not entitled to a written warning. 

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Egregious First-Time Sale to Minor Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2013”.

 

Sec. 2.  (a)  In March, the Council enacted the Egregious First-Time Sale to Minor Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2013, effective March 19, 2013 (D.C. Act 20-34; 60 DCR 4644) ("emergency legislation"), and in April, the Egregious First-Time Sale to Minor Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2013, was signed by the Mayor on April 25, 2013 (D.C. Act 20-60; 60 DCR 6399) ("temporary legislation"). The emergency and temporary legislation amended subsection 807.1 of Title 23 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations to revise the definition of an "egregious" first-time sale to minor violation, and clarify that an Alcoholic Beverage Control Board licensee that can be established to have had a pattern of prior alcoholic beverage sales or service to minors has committed an "egregious" first-time sale to minor violation and is not entitled to a written warning. 

(b) The emergency legislation will expire on June 17, 2013, before the temporary legislation is projected to become law.

(c) It is important that the provisions of the emergency legislation continue in effect, without interruption, until the temporary legislation is in effect. 

 

Sec. 3.  The Council of the District of Columbia determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Egregious First-Time Sale to Minor Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2013 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4.  This resolution shall take effect immediately.
