Bill > HB2119

This bill amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to define "restaurant" and allow certain alcohol permit holders, such as those with wine and malt beverage retailer's permits, mixed beverage permits, private club registration permits, and retail dealer's on-premise licenses, to be issued a food and beverage certificate if they are a restaurant or if the commission finds their alcohol sales are 60% or less of their total receipts. The bill also adds a new chapter to the Business & Commerce Code to regulate third-party food delivery services, including prohibiting certain practices, requiring written agreements with restaurants, and providing restaurants with a private cause of action for violations. Additionally, the bill prohibits municipalities and counties from adopting or enforcing ordinances or regulations that affect the terms of these agreements between third-party food delivery services and restaurants.
