AI Summary
This bill proposes to extend the hours for selling alcoholic beverages, allowing off-premises licensees to sell from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on-premises licensees to sell from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., with the possibility of later sales if authorized by local ordinances. It also permits on-premises licensees, such as restaurants, to obtain a special license to deliver liquor, beer, and wine along with food orders for home consumption, provided certain conditions are met, including the delivery of liquor in sealed containers and the requirement that delivery personnel are at least 21 years old and employees of the licensee. Furthermore, the bill allows on-premises licensees to sell beer in refillable containers and refill them with their own product, regardless of the original branding on the container.
