Bill > HB8

This bill proposes several key changes to the Liquor Control Act in New Mexico: 1. It creates a new alcoholic beverage delivery permit that would allow certain licensees (such as retailers, dispensers, and restaurants) to deliver alcoholic beverages, subject to various requirements and restrictions. 2. It establishes a new "type B" restaurant license that would allow the sale and service of beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages in restaurants, in addition to the existing "type A" restaurant license which only allows the sale of beer and wine. 3. It imposes new license issuance fees, including a fee for the new third-party alcohol delivery license and the alcoholic beverage delivery permit. 4. It allows dispenser's licenses that have been transferred out of a local option district to reinstate the privilege of selling alcoholic beverages in unbroken packages for off-premises consumption. 5. It expands the definition of "server" to include individuals who deliver alcoholic beverages, making them subject to the same training, suspension, and revocation provisions as other servers. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and expand certain aspects of alcohol sales and delivery in New Mexico.
