Bill > SB487

This bill amends Arkansas law to authorize the third-party delivery of alcoholic beverages from certain retailers, such as grocery stores, small breweries, and liquor stores, to consumers aged 21 and older within the same county as the retailer. It creates a new third-party delivery service permit that allows individuals, companies, or partnerships to apply and be approved to provide these delivery services, subject to various requirements, including obtaining liability insurance, conducting criminal background checks on delivery drivers, and adhering to restrictions on delivery locations and timing. The bill also clarifies that violations by the third-party delivery service do not constitute violations by the retailer, and it allows retailers to use third-party electronic platforms to process orders while maintaining control over product selection and pricing.
