The Normal Liquor Commission reported a series of ID-check compliance citations and approved renewal of liquor licenses during its meeting on March 18, 2024.
Chair reported that ID-check verification at multiple establishments led to violations for furnishing alcohol to a person under 21. The commission named Fiala Brothers Beer LLC, Highland Park CVS LLC (CVS Pharmacy, 100 South Bell Avenue), 707 Liquors (108 North Linden Street) and Chronister Oil Company (Quick & Easy, 1609 North Main Street). Each first-offense fine was $250 and the chair said those fines have been paid.
The commission then moved to renew liquor licenses. The body approved renewal of 81 regular (primary) liquor licenses and 39 secondary licenses and endorsements (including catering and extension-of-premises endorsements). The motion passed by roll call with the commissioners recorded as voting in the affirmative.
The commission adjourned and transferred remaining municipal business to the Town Council meeting that followed.
