Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

 

Chapter 32 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code governs licensing policies and procedures for the Department of Excise and Licenses. Over the course of this administration, the Department has learned where chapter 32 can be modernized and improved to promote transparency, clarity, and flexibility. This bill amends chapter 32 by defining common licensing terms, codifying and clarifying application and licensing procedures, and updating policies for license fees. The bill also codifies and updates procedures for investigations, enforcement, and disciplinary actions. The proposed changes will leave the next administration with a more sound and operable licensing chapter.
