Senate Bill 1034 amends the Election Code to authorize the governing body of a municipality with a population of at least 112,000 located in a county with a population of not more than 135,000—in which, as a result of a local option election, the sale of one or more types or classifications of alcoholic beverage is legal in the municipality, and in which, after the election is held, the municipality annexes territory where the sale of one or more of those types of alcoholic beverages is not legal—to order by resolution a local option election in the municipality to legalize such beverages. The bill requires the resolution of the governing body ordering the election to be preceded by a public hearing on the matter and specifies the required contents of the resolution. The bill requires such an election to be conducted by the municipality instead of by the county and establishes that provisions relating to certain county entities and individuals refer to corresponding municipal entities and individuals for purposes of such an election. The bill requires the annexing municipality to pay the expense of the election and establishes that these provisions expire September 1, 2015.
