What is the Liquor & Marijuana Licensing Authority (LMLA)?

The Liquor Licensing Authority was created by ordinance in May 2003; it became the Liquor & Marijuana Licensing Authority in 2016.

The “Authority” is comprised of five members who are residents and electors of the Town of Breckenridge.

As the “local licensing authority” for the Town, the Liquor & Marijuana Licensing Authority has responsibility for all Town decisions involving liquor and marijuana licenses, with one exception being special event liquor licenses which are approved administratively. The Authority has been vested with the authority to grant or refuse alcoholic beverage licenses, to promulgate rules and regulations, to conduct investigations and to suspend or revoke licenses for cause in the manner provided by law.

The Authority's responsibilities include the review and approval of new license applications, transfers of ownership, renewals, modifications to premises, and other changes. In addition, the Authority will impose appropriate disciplinary action against any licensee who violates certain provisions of the Colorado Liquor Code (Article 47 of Title 12, C.R.S.), the Colorado Beer Code (Article 46 of Title 12, C.R.S.) or the rules promulgated by the Liquor Enforcement Division of the Department of Revenue of the State of Colorado (1 C.C.R. 203-2).
