REFERENCE: TEMPORARY DISPLAYS – MODIFICATION APPROVAL
DATE: February 8, 2019
Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division
The Liquor Enforcement Division (LED) is publishing this bulletin in regards to temporary displays and whether or not a modification approval is needed prior to the use of the display.
In accordance with regulation 47-320, 1 C.C.R. 203-2, suppliers are allowed to provide displays to alcohol retailers. Independent to supplier provided displays, retailers are also allowed to have displays of alcohol beverages in their businesses. Some of those displays are temporary in nature.
Regulation 47-312, 1 C.C.R. 203-2, governs the issue of modification requirements. When evaluating the need for a modification approval prior to the use of such displays;
Regulation 47-312(A) states (emphasis added):
After issuance of a license, the licensee shall make no physical change, alteration or modification of the licensed premises that materially or substantially alters the licensed premises or the usage of the licensed premises from the plans and specifications submitted at the time of obtaining the original license without application to, and the approval of, the local and state licensing authorities.
The LED has determined that a temporary display as stated above does not materially or substantially alter the licensed premised, therefore does not need prior approval.
