LA PUENTE : City to Require Permits for New Liquor Outlets
The La Puente City Council amended its municipal code to require new businesses wishing to sell packaged liquor to obtain an unclassified use permit from the city.
Currently, only a license from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is required. The amendment will take effect June 23.
