(3)  Any licensee who holds a Class A beer and wine
off-sale license and who has been continually operating for more
than 1 year prior to July 1, 1981 shall have the right to file an
application for, and be issued a Class A-1 or Class A-2
(off-sale) beer, wine, and liquor license. A licensee may not

sale of liquor off-sale. The provisions for this option are as
set forth in Section 19(n)(6).

(5)  Any license issued under the provisions of
paragraph (3) shall provide a separate outside entrance for the
use of off-sale customers if the majority of the retail sales are

business is predominately one of other types of retail sales,

NOTIFYING THE LIQUOR BOARD PRIOR TO THE 1984 1983 RENEWAL DATE.
FAILURE TO NOTIFY THE LIQUOR BOARD BY THE 1984 1983 RENEWAL DATE
FORFEITS THE LICENSEE'S OPTION TO CONVERT TO A CLASS A LICENSE.
