Bill > HB637

This bill alters the scope of a provision prohibiting the retail delivery of alcoholic beverages, and allows certain licensed establishments, such as restaurants, bars, and taverns, to sell and deliver alcoholic beverages, including mixed drinks and cocktails, for off-premises consumption in certain jurisdictions where the local licensing board has adopted regulations to authorize such sales and delivery. The bill also requires the local licensing board to consider the public health impacts when deciding whether to adopt such regulations, and places restrictions on the sale and delivery of these alcoholic beverages, such as requiring them to be purchased with prepared food, sold in sealed containers, and delivered by the license holder or their employee who is at least 21 years old and certified in an alcohol awareness program.
