Rep. FORD proposes the following amendment (LC-3924.PH0021H):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 10, by striking Section 61-2-150 and inserting:

 Section 61-2-150. If a fine is imposed by the department for a violation by a hemp specialty retailer licensee or a beer, wine, hemp-cannabinoid productbeverage, or liquor licensee, and the licensee fails to pay the fine and ceases doing business on the premises where the violation occurred, the department must not require a subsequent tenant of the premises to pay the fine as a condition to being issued a hemp specialty retailer's license or a beer, wine, hemp-cannabinoid productbeverage or liquor license. However, this prohibition does not apply to any person who is related by blood within the third degree or marriage to, is in business with, or is acting for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the licensee so fined.
 The burden is on the new tenant to prove that no such relationship exists between him and the licensee.
