DENVER (KDVR) — On Thursday, Gov. Jared Polis signed into law a measure called “Prohibit New Liquor-Licensed Drug Stores,” the latest upset in Colorado’s changing liquor laws.

The new measure will prevent local and state authorities from issuing new “liquor-licensed drugstore licenses.” According to the city and county of Denver’s website, these licenses are provided to businesses to sell beer, wine and liquor in sealed containers for off-premise consumption, among some other restrictions.
