WP: Emergency Liquor License Bill

The Council approved emergency legislation (which means it automatically lapses after 90 days, unless action is taken to extend it) to allow businesses in commercial areas to obtain liquor licenses even if they are within 400 feet (prohibited under current law) of a school, college, or District of Columbia operated recreation center. I'm pretty sure the original law also mentions libraries, and I think we all know about the church rule. Right now the focus will probably be on Shaw's Vegetate, but this law will have implications throughout the District. Thanks to DCist for catching it.
