Sec. 30-64b. Unfair pricing practices. The sale of any alcoholic liquor by a
wholesale or retail permittee for off premises consumption at a price the intent of which
is to destroy or prevent competition with any other permittee holding a like permit shall
be deemed an unfair pricing practice. The Department of Consumer Protection may
suspend or revoke any permit upon a finding of an unfair pricing practice. In arriving
at such finding, the Department of Consumer Protection shall consider, but not be limited
to, the consideration of the following factors: Labor, including salaries of executives
and officers, rent, interest on borrowed capital, depreciation, selling cost, maintenance
of equipment, delivery costs, credit losses, insurance and warehouse costs.

department from establishing minimum sales for permittees; P.A. 95-195 substituted Department of Consumer Protection
