R and h licensing

This change had a dramatic effect upon the market for R-licenses. Municipalities that had burgeoned since the quota system had been implemented could now, for practical purposes, accommodate as many R licenses that their local governance deemed appropriate. Unlike R licenses, there are no quotas on the H license. H Licensees must have rooms available for public accommodation on the licensed premises.

In the General Assembly made temporary changes to the hotel provisions of the Liquor Code. Under this change, upon application, certain H licensees were granted a room waiver and were no longer obligated to maintain rooms for public accommodation. H licensees who took advantage of this perishable offering were able to convert their establishments to full-fledged restaurants, however the license was still categorized as an H license.

In the General Assembly again opened a temporary window to H licensees, authorizing room waivers; however, licensees who took advantage of this second opportunity could not convert former rooms into restaurant space. An H license can be moved to a new location within the county, however, the room waivers are not portable and must remain on the premises for which the license was issued. In other words, if the H license that has a room waiver associated with it is transferred, the room waiver is not portable, similarly, to continue to use this example, a new H license cannot be paired with the room waiver from the transferred H-license.
