3 AAC 306.220 - Removal of local option

(a) If a majority of the persons voting on the question vote to remove a local option previously adopted under 3 AAC 306.200 or 3 AAC 306.210 and currently in effect, or if a local government's assembly or city council passes an ordinance to the same effect, that local option is repealed effective the first day of the month after the election is certified. A ballot question to remove a local option under this section must at least contain language substantially similar to: "Shall (name of local government) remove the local option currently in effect, that prohibits (current local option), so that no local option continues in effect? (yes or no)."

(b) When issuing a license within the boundaries of a local government that has removed a local option, the board will give priority to any formerly licensed applicant whose license was not renewed because of the results of the previous local option election. However, an applicant described in this subsection does not have a legal right to a license and the board is not required to approve the application.
