Common confusion points

5 things to watch for

    Mistaking this form for a simple license *application* when it is specifically an exemption *order* request.

  • 2

    Failing to specify the exact section of the Act being invoked, leading to ambiguity.

  • 3

    Assuming that because the 2008 Act amended the 1927 Act, you don't need to mention both dates on the form.

  • 4

    Not clearly defining what the exemption *allows* (e.g., 'allowing sales on Sunday' vs. 'allowing sales of craft beer').

  • 5

    Submitting it without a fee payment receipt attached.
