Indiana Seniors: Exempt LTC Facilities from Liquor Permits

A group of Indiana seniors is pushing for legislation that would exempt nursing homes and other LTC facilities from having to obtain liquor permits or pay excise taxes in order to serve alcohol to residents. 

The residents took up the cause after their facility was cited by state inspectors for violating the law. 

The Indiana Health Care Association supports the effort, adding that nursing homes shouldn't be held to the same rules as restaurants. Dennis Neary, IHCA's legislative and public affairs director, was quoted as saying, "This is a nursing home, not a nursing bar and grill."
