A. [PL 1995, c. 270, §1 (RP).]
B. This subsection does not apply when:
(1) The minor is accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or custodian, as defined in Title 22, section 4002;
(2) The minor is employed under section 704; or
(3) The licensee does not permit consumption of liquor on the licensed premises. [PL 1987, c. 342, §82 (RPR).]

3. Income from sale of food requirement. At least 10% of the gross annual income must be from the sale of food for each hotel.
[PL 1987, c. 342, §83 (AMD).]
4. Required number of sleeping rooms. Each hotel must be equipped with at least the required number of adequate sleeping rooms.
A. The number of rooms required is based on the population of the municipality in which the hotel is located, as reported in the 1960 Federal Decennial Census. If the population reported in the most recent Federal Decennial Census is at least 20% less than the population reported in the 1960 census, the most recent Federal Decennial Census must be used to determine the number of rooms required.
(1) If the hotel is located in a municipality having a population of 7,500 or less, the hotel must have at least 12 adequate sleeping rooms.
(2) If the hotel is located in a municipality having a population of more than 7,500, the hotel must have at least 30 adequate sleeping rooms. [PL 1991, c. 824, Pt. D, §4 (RPR).]
B. [PL 1991, c. 376, §53 (RP).]
C. [PL 1987, c. 623, §14 (RP).]
If the hotel is located on an offshore island that is part of a mainland municipality, then the number of rooms required is based on the population of the island, rather than that of the municipality as a whole.
[PL 1995, c. 270, §1 (AMD).]
