All right guys! In regards to the special licensing that businesses have to get to remain open after dusk:
- It's essentially the same as they had to get if they wanted to remain open after dusk during the nights of the full moon: they have to be inspected by Official Ministry Personnel to ensure that it is a safe place for people to gather after dark, where they won't be attacked by either vampires or werewolves
- If they already have the Full Moon license, then it'll likely be easier for them to get the new license than, say, those businesses that didn't bother with a Full Moon license.
- Among the safety precautions necessary are a designated "safety zone" that at least includes the entire building, and could extend outside of the building, as long as safety wards are in place (that are strong enough to keep out werewolves during the full moon). Within the "safety zone" there must be areas where patrons can apparate or floo in and out safely, so that they don't need to leave the "safety zone" to arrive or depart.
- While businesses aren't restricted from serving werewolves in their human form, they are now restricted from serving vampires, if they wish to remain open after dark. In fact, they must set up precautions (holy water sprinkled across the entrances and/or sunlamps set up inside) to prevent vampires from entering the premises.
- As with the Full Moon license, there is the chance of random Ministry inspection at any time, to ensure that they are complying with the guidelines for having the license.
The paperwork is available at the Ministry, and those who already have a Full Moon license are given priority on getting the new license before the 7th.
