A proposal would create an alcoholic beverages inspector to handle liquor law violations and license investigations. The inspector would file cases with the state attorney, present information to hearings, and operate under the license commissioner rather than in a dual judge and advocate role. The plan follows earlier urging by the Republican state central committee. current law has the part time license commissioner acting in dual capacity with a $2,400 annual salary.
