License for sale of malt liquor only

In plain English

A person who only has a license to sell malt liquor (like beer) cannot have, sell, give away, or let others have any other kind of alcohol on that property. If they break this rule, it is a misdemeanor crime, their license gets automatically taken away, and they have to turn it in. Also, if someone with only a malt liquor license has a federal tax stamp showing they deal in other kinds of alcohol, their license gets revoked and they can face jail time from 3 months to 1 year, a fine of $100 to $1,000, or both.
