Connecticut State Agency Decisions

Covers 2014 - 2022

A remonstrance is the opportunity for the public to voice a formal objection to either a new liquor permit application or the renewal of an existing liquor permit within their town. A remonstrance requires the submission of a petition to Department of Consumer Protection Liquor Control Division. If the petition meets the standards required by statute (discussed in detail below), a hearing before the Liquor Control Commission is scheduled. The remonstrants may testify and submit evidence demonstrating why the permit application or renewal should be denied. After the hearing, the Commission will write a decision that explains their determination of whether to grant the remonstrance or grant the permit.
