Village amends municipal code to allow sealed‑container hotel sales under Class J license
Summary
The Mundelein Village Board adopted an ordinance amending chapter 5.76 to permit sealed-container (to‑go) alcohol sales under a Class J hotel/university license with conditions limiting sales to registered guests age 21 and up; the measure passed by unanimous roll call.
The Village Board voted on Feb. 23 to amend chapter 5.76 of the Mundelein Municipal Code to authorize sealed‑container (to‑go) alcohol sales under a Class J hotel or university license, subject to conditions including sales only to registered hotel guests age 21 or older with valid ID and residency verification.
Trustee Krinsky moved to adopt the ordinance and Trustee Schwenk seconded. The clerk conducted a roll‑call vote; the trustees recorded unanimous support and the motion passed.
The ordinance requires compliance with all applicable state and local laws and places residency and age verification conditions on sealed‑container sales. The change is intended to allow hotels and similar facilities to offer limited off‑premises sealed sales under the Class J licensing category; the board did not modify state liquor statutes.
The ordinance takes effect according to the village's standard adoption rules; staff will incorporate the change into the municipal code and adjust licensing materials as needed.
