[Withdrawn 6/5/2008]
General Information
| Action Summary |
On August 2. 2007, Judge Walter D. Kelley, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia entered a preliminary injunction, enjoining the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and its agents from enforcing that portions of § 4.1-225of the Code of Virginia which prohibits alcoholic beverage licensees from allowing noisy conduct on licensed premises in Virginia. With enforcement of this Code section enjoined, the board has no provision of law or regulation to address noise issues on licensed premises. The judge found that the term “noisy” as used in the statute was unconstitutionally vague. The purpose of this action is to more clearly define the noise levels allowable on premises licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages. |
