Liquor Repeal Rules In New Mexico Regulations
The AP outlines who can sell liquor in New Mexico under repeal rules. Groceries and drug stores with three years business and paid licenses can sell only unbroken packages. Restaurants and hotels with special licenses may sell all liquors with meals after three years. Wholesalers with permits can operate into retail establishments. Consumers obtain permits at county or city offices for three dollars per year, with a one dollar option per type. Non residents get 30 day permits. Permits are not required for liquor with meals for tourists. Violations include selling to minors, drinking in public, or providing liquor to others with a permit. Revenue funds county or city option districts, with half of other fees to general funds and half to the state liquor board, which allocates most to the state common school fund. The license may be revoked for cause, and courts can impose revocation as part of sentences.
