Spring Hill beer board approves off-premise beer permit for Old School Sales LLC
Summary
The Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen beer board approved an off-premise beer permit for Old School Sales LLC at 5270 Main Street after the owner described ID-checking procedures and a plan to restrict entry to those 21 and older.
The Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen beer board approved an off-premise beer permit for Old School Sales LLC, 5270 Main Street, during its June 16 meeting.
Kim Proctor, owner of Old School Sales LLC, said the store will use a nationwide ID-checking service called InteleCheck to screen customers’ identification and that staff will call the Spring Hill Police Department to verify IDs when the system may not detect a fake. "Each person comes in the door, their ID scanned. Now while that works very well, the technology on fake ID's has stepped up 7 knots. So, it occasionally will okay an ID, but when we can look at the ID, we normally call Spring Hill Police and they come over and they'll scan it through their system," Proctor said.
Vice Mayor Linville asked Proctor to describe the store's policies for preventing sales to minors; Linville also confirmed with Proctor that penalties for selling to minors, including fines and possible revocation of the license, were understood. Proctor responded that the store understands those penalties. Proctor also said that because of recent changes to state hemp rules referenced during the discussion, the store will require customers to be 21 and older to enter the premises and will station a person at the door to scan IDs "before they ever hit the Sales Floor." Proctor described the effective date for those rules as falling around "December 31, January," and did not provide a specific statutory citation during the hearing.
After the owner’s remarks, Vice Mayor Linville moved to approve the permit; Alderman Murray seconded the motion. The board called for the question and members answered "Aye," after which the chair declared the motion passed and the applicant was provided the permit.
The discussion focused on the retailer's planned ID verification process and a stated policy to restrict entry to customers 21 and older. No fines, enforcement actions, or follow-up staff reports were mentioned on the record.
