(1) The state licensing authority may issue a manager's permit to an individual who is employed by a liquor-licensed drugstore licensed under section 12-47-408 and who will be in actual control of the liquor-licensed drugstore's alcohol beverage operations.

(a) Has not been convicted of a crime involving the sale or distribution of alcohol beverages within the eight years immediately preceding the date on which the application is submitted;

(b) Has not been convicted of any felony within the five years immediately preceding the date on which the application is submitted; except that in considering the conviction of a felony, the state licensing authority is governed by section 24-5-101, C.R.S.;

(c) Is at least twenty-one years of age; and

(d) Has not had a manager's permit or any similar permit issued by the state, a local jurisdiction, or another state or foreign jurisdiction revoked by the issuing authority within the three years immediately preceding the date on which the application is submitted.

(3) It is unlawful for an individual who has a manager's permit issued under this section to be interested directly or indirectly in:

(a) A wholesaler licensed pursuant to section 12-47-406;

(b) A limited winery licensed pursuant to section 12-47-403;

(c) An importer licensed pursuant to section 12-47-404;

(e) Any business licensed under this article that has had its license revoked by the state licensing authority within the eight years immediately preceding the date on which the individual applies for a manager's permit under this section.

(4) In recognition of the state's flourishing local breweries, wineries, and distilleries that locally produce high-quality malt, vinous, and spirituous liquors, managers of liquor-licensed drugstores are encouraged to purchase and promote locally-produced alcohol beverage products in their liquor-licensed drugstores.
