§ 3-1. Authorization, findings and purposes.

Latest version.

The Board of Commissioners does hereby find that:
(1)

North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 18B authorizes counties to exercise limited regulatory authority over the licensing and permitting of places selling alcoholic beverages and over consumption of alcoholic beverages.

(2)

The exercise of that authority by the Rowan County Board of Commissioners is for the benefit of the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens and adoption of this chapter is not inconsistent therewith.

(3)

The provisions of this chapter are intended to implement the authority of the County to the extent authorized by S.L. 2017-87 (SB 155), more specifically Section 3.(d) "Allow the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages Before Noon on Sundays Subject to Local Government Approval" amending G.S. 18B-1004 and G.S. 153A-145.7 "Hours of Certain Alcohol Sales" where a county "may adopt an Ordinance allowing for the sale of malt beverages, unfortified wine, fortified wine and mixed beverages beginning at 10:00 A.M. on Sunday pursuant to the licensed premises' permit issued under G.S. 18B-1001."

(Amend. of 10-2-17)
