Objection to "Fast Tracking" Substantive ABC Regulation Changes
 

I represent a number of Virginia Beach and Norfolk area ABC establishments. I am concerned about the  "fast tracking" of clearly substantive changes to ABC regulations. These are not just "clarifications", and they deserve a more thorough process and debate. Also: (1)ABC needs to make it easier for the public to see what the current regs say, how they will be changed and why; (2)It appears that the current regs and the proposed changes go beyond the stated goals of the regulations (e.g., how do these regs/changes "prevent sales to those under the legal age or intoxicated" or "discourage over-consumption"?); and (3)ABC is ill-suited to determine (or enforce) what partially nude performers and licensees allowing such should and shouldn't be allowed to do. Accordingly, I respectfully OBJECT.
