AI Summary

This bill establishes a new licensing requirement for third-party delivery services that want to deliver alcoholic beverages in Minnesota. The bill requires these services to obtain a specific license from the commissioner, which costs $500 annually and can only be issued if the service meets certain requirements. Delivery personnel must be at least 21 years old and can only be employees or independent contractors of the licensed delivery service. When delivering alcoholic beverages, these individuals must verify the age of the recipient at the point of delivery and ensure the purchaser is at least 21 years old.
