Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 4.1-221.2 as follows:

§ 4.1-221.2. Limitation on certain retail licensees.

A. The Board shall suspend the license of any person licensed in accordance with subdivision 1. g. of § 4.1-209 whose licensed premises are located in any county with a population between 210,000 and 216,000 when, during the immediately preceding licensing year, more than 500 arrests have been made at the licensed premises or on property adjacent thereto. Such suspension shall be effective for one calendar year from the date of the suspension.

B. After the period of the suspension has ended, the licensee may apply to the Board for renewal of such license. Upon receiving an application for the renewal of the license, the Board shall require that the applicant comply with the provisions of subsection B of § 4.1-230 and shall require a public hearing to be conducted in the county where the licensed premises are located. No license renewal shall be granted until the provisions of this subsection have been met.
