The present Alcoholic Beverage Control System was adopted in the 1934 Session of the General Assembly, as a result of recommendations proposed by a study commission created in 1933. As time passed, the Act has generally continued in force as passed without major change until 1968, when the General Assembly made a major change in policy with the adoption of the Mixed Beverage laws. From time to time, the legislature, in view of the increasing number of bills offered to effect both minor and major changes in the system, has made a practice of reviewing the alcoholic beverage control laws and the practices of the Board. The last study was made in 1953. The General Assembly of 1973 felt that before making any further far-reaching changes in the system of control, it should again review the operation of the Board and of the system, and to that end created the Commission on Alcoholic Beverage Controls by House Joint Resolution No. 20.
