House Bill 46 Sponsor Testimony
House Commerce and Labor Committee
February 10, 2021
Chairman Stein, Vice Chairman Johnson, Ranking Member Lepore-Hagan and members of the
House Commerce and Labor Committee, thank you for the opportunity to speak on House Bill
46. I would also like to thank my joint sponsor, Representative Miller, for his teamwork on this
bill.
The pandemic is hurting so many Ohioans and we believe House Bill 46 will help alleviate some
of the pain. The bill before you will would exempt bars and restaurants from renewing their
liquor permits for the 2021 calendar year. We all can agree that bars and restaurants have been
some of the hardest hit by this pandemic. Owners have had to close their doors, redesign their
locations to pass state requirements, purchase a wide array of sanitizers, and have restricted
hours of operation for liquor sales.
This bill also includes lifting gift card restrictions that prohibited using 30% of a restaurant gift
card in purchasing beer or liquor when consumed on premise. By eliminating this threshold we
will be removing another hurdle that impedes business.
Thank you Chairman Stein. Representative Miller will now speak to the bill.
