[Vision2020] Idaho Code

[Ron Force]

The Idaho Code makes a distinction between a liquor store or dispensary, and
establishments selling beer and wine. The former has no exceptions for
locating near a school.  The latter does:

         TITLE  23
                             ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

23-303.  PROXIMITY OF SCHOOL. No liquor store or distribution station
shall be located within three hundred (300) feet of a school.

23-1011B.  BARS OR TAVERNS NOT ALLOWED NEAR CHURCHES OR SCHOOLS --
EXCEPTIONS. No license shall be issued for any place where beer is sold or
dispensed to be consumed on the premises, whether conducted for pleasure or
profit, that is within three hundred (300) feet of any public school,
church,
or any other place of worship measured in a straight line to the nearest
entrance to the licensed premises, except with the approval of the governing
body of the municipality; provided that this limitation shall not apply to
any
duly licensed premises that at the time of licensing did not come within the
restricted area but subsequent to licensing came therein.

I would like to quote directly from The State of Idaho Alcohol Beverage Code
book the following:

code 23-303.  PROXIMITY OF SCHOOL.
"No liquor store or distribution center shall be located within three
hundred (300) feet of a school."

code 23-913. LICENSEE NOT ALLOWED NEAR CHURCHES OR SCHOOLS - EXCEPTIONS.
"No license shall be issued for any premises in any neighborhood which is
predominantly residential or within 300 feet of any public school, church,
or any other place of worship, measured in a straight line to the nearest
entrance to the licensed premises, except with the approval of the governing
body of the municipality; provided, that this limitation shall not apply to
any duly licensed premises that at the time of licensing did not come within
the restricted area but subsequent to licensing same (came) therein."

It would be nice if we could all make laws that we could exempt or include
ourselves at will. Go figure? I would sure like to make an exception that I
could drive 80 on the road to Lewiston BECAUSE I own the highway, I pay the
wages for the repairs of the highway and I pay the wages of the policeman.
Logical? No! Neither is this law.
I too believe in Bozo.
