Reps. Herbert M. Copeland, R„ Madison, and Howard S. Steele. R., Knox offered a measure which would remove from the present act a section making it mandatory that permits to sell alcoholic beverages at wholesale be renewed annually.

Under the present beverage act. the state alcoholic beverage Commission must renew wholesalers’ permits annually upon application and payment of a $1,900 annual fee, as long as the permittee were qualified.
