Held Atlanta proposal would make amusement-machine violations grounds for alcohol-license action

A held Atlanta ordinance proposes making certain violations involving bona fide coin-operated amusement machines grounds for adverse action against a license to sell alcoholic beverages. Ordinance 26-O-1479 would amend the city’s amusement-machine and alcohol-license provisions.

The Finance/Executive Committee’s Sept. 30 minutes list the ordinance as held, following an Aug. 26 hold at the sponsor’s request. They identify Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint; the record does not establish adoption of the proposed licensing change.
