What’s in it

AI summary Businesses that sell alcohol could now let their employees deliver drinks to customers. Currently, only the business itself can make these deliveries, but this change would allow authorized agents to do the work. The new rule also removes the requirement that the delivery vehicle must be owned or leased by the business.1

Read the official explanation

This bill authorizes the delivery of alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer by the agent of a licensee or permittee, if the licensee or permittee is authorized by the alcoholic beverages division to make such deliveries. Under current law, third parties cannot make such deliveries for a licensee or permittee. The bill strikes a requirement that deliveries of alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer be made in a vehicle owned, leased, or under the control of the licensee or permittee.

Changed since by amendments S-3148, H-1329; see Amendments.
