City conforming liquor code with state statute
SHERIDAN — The city of Sheridan is considering amendments to its Chapter 4 ordinances to comply with recent changes to Wyoming State Statute.
House Bill 13, signed by the governor Feb. 9, impacts many aspects of liquor license management in municipalities, according to city attorney Brendon Kerns.
“These are all being driven by state statute changes,” Kerns said. “We’re just bringing our code into compliance with the state.”
Among the changes required in city code due to the new legislation is a redefinition of the serving area in restaurants, according to city clerk Cecilia Good. Previously, restaurants had to have a specific room for the serving of alcohol. The new change removes that requirement.
