12-47-408, Liquor-Licensed Drugstore License
(1) A liquor-licensed drugstore license shall be issued to persons selling malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors in sealed containers not to be consumed at the place where sold. Nothing in this subsection (1) shall prohibit a liquor-licensed drugstore licensee from allowing tastings to be conducted on his or her licensed premises if an authorization for the tastings has been granted pursuant to section 12-47-301.
(2) Every person selling malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors as provided in this section shall purchase such malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors only from a wholesaler licensed pursuant to this article.
(3) A liquor-licensed drugstore licensee who complies with this subsection (3) and rules promulgated pursuant thereto may deliver malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors to a person of legal age if such person is at a place that is not licensed pursuant to this section. The state licensing authority shall promulgate rules as are necessary for the proper delivery of malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors and shall have the authority to issue a permit to any liquor-licensed drugstore licensee that will allow such licensee to deliver such liquors pursuant to such rules and this subsection (3). Such permits shall be subject to the same suspension and revocation provisions as are set forth in sections 12-47-306 and 12-47-601 for other licenses granted pursuant to this article.
(4) It is unlawful for any owner, part owner, shareholder, or person interested directly or indirectly in a liquor-licensed drugstore to conduct, own either in whole or in part, or be directly or indirectly interested in any other business licensed pursuant to this article; except that such a person may have an interest in an arts license or an airline public transportation system license granted under this article, or in a financial institution referred to in section 12-47-308 (4).
(5) A licensee under the provisions of this section with a valid license in effect on July 1, 2000, may apply to a local licensing authority to convert or transfer such license to a retail liquor store license issued under the provisions of section 12-47-407 and may continue to operate as a retail liquor store licensee notwithstanding the limitations with respect to location within five hundred feet from any public or parochial school or the principal campus of any college, university, or seminary pursuant to the provisions of section 12-47-313 (1) (d) (I). The local licensing authority may, but shall not be required to, consider the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood pursuant to section 12-47-312 in making a determination on the conversion or transfer to a retail liquor store license.
