We believe that actively working with applicants offers the best opportunity to achieve our goal. Read the general comments for application processing, instructions for filling out the application and resident agent form, and thoroughly review the application packet before submitting your application. This will provide answers to questions often asked by applicants. Application receipt and uptake When your application is received, our first action will be to schedule the preliminary hearing and to post the notice of your application. The controlling statute requires that the notice be posted 20 days prior to the preliminary approval and that the preliminary hearing be held within 30 days of receipt of your application. A Notice of hearing will be sent to you advising of the date and time of your preliminary hearing, and the name of the Hearing Officer assigned to your application (hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone). The applicant is required to publish notice of the hearing in a local newspaper of general circulation. The Hearing Officer will provide the applicant with instruction on how to accomplish this requirement. Failure to publish notice of the hearing and to provide proof of publication to your Hearing Officer will result in the cancellation and rescheduling of your preliminary hearing. Preliminary Review After your hearing has been scheduled, the Hearing Officer will review your application and will prepare and forward a Notice of Deficient Documents listing the items necessary to complete your application. The listed items in the Notice of Deficient Documents should be provided prior to the preliminary hearing. Preliminary Hearing After your hearing, any remaining items should be completed and submitted within 10 days to avoid any delays in processing your application. The Hearing Officer will prepare a "Hearing Officer's Recommendation" in support of a recommendation to the Division Director. If the application is not completed in a timely manner, the application may be canceled. Once the Director has reviewed the application and the Recommendation, if all is correct, your application will be forwarded to the local governing body in which you propose to conduct business. The local governing body is then required to publish notice of a hearing at the local governing body and to conduct a public hearing before the local governing body within 45 days of receipt. After your hearing with the local governing body, that governing body has 30 days to provide us with the signed documentation. Restaurant (Beer and Wine) Applications Certain local option districts do not provide for restaurant licenses for the sale of beer and wine. If you are not sure whether beer and wine licenses are permitted in the local option district where you propose to apply for a restaurant license, contact our office. If you have any questions, call us at (505) 476-4875. Thank you in advance for helping us to achieve our goal.
