Bill > SB141

This bill amends Title 4 of the Delaware Code, which pertains to alcoholic liquors, by expanding the scope of auction licenses. Previously, only wine auctions were regulated, but this legislation introduces provisions for spirits auctions and combined wine and spirits auctions. The bill clarifies that a "spirits auction" involves selling rare or collectible spirits obtained from private collections at public auction to individuals of legal purchasing age. It also specifies that both wine and spirits auctions are limited to 12 events per calendar year, with a maximum of 3 days per auction event, and that both in-person and online auctions count towards this limit. License holders for these auctions are responsible for collecting and remitting excise and gross receipt taxes, and any items purchased at auction cannot be resold in a licensed retail facility.
