What is one reason a licensed premise would apply for a special license?

  1. To extend operational hours

  2. To reduce the number of patrons

  3. To change the license type

  4. To increase licensing fees

The correct answer is: To extend operational hours

A licensed premise would apply for a special license to extend operational hours to accommodate events, promotions, or seasonal celebrations that occur outside of standard operating hours. Many local or state regulations limit the hours during which a licensed establishment can serve alcohol. A special license provides the necessary authorization to allow for extended service, which can enhance business opportunities and better serve customers during peak times or special occasions. The other options do not represent valid reasons for applying for a special license. Reducing the number of patrons is typically not a goal in seeking any type of license; rather, establishments aim to maximize capacity as permitted by their licenses. Changing the license type may require a different process and application altogether rather than obtaining a special license. Lastly, increasing licensing fees is not a reason for applying for a special license; fees are generally associated with the licensing process but are not altered by the approval of a special license.
