Bill > HB258

This bill amends Title 4 of the Delaware Code, which pertains to licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages, by adding a new subsection that grants municipalities with a population of 50,000 or more the authority to enact their own local ordinances regarding the placement of new establishments that sell alcohol for consumption off the premises, such as liquor stores or convenience stores, and these local rules can be stricter than the state's existing regulations. The bill also clarifies that the Commissioner, who is responsible for issuing liquor licenses, must deny any license application for an establishment selling alcohol for off-premises consumption if it does not meet the requirements of such a municipal ordinance.
