Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Title 4 The Delaware Code Relating To The Time Of Sales For On-premises Consumption.

AI Summary

This bill amends Title 4 of the Delaware Code, which governs alcoholic liquor sales, to adjust the hours during which alcoholic beverages can be sold for on-premises consumption, meaning at establishments like bars and restaurants. Specifically, it changes the existing prohibition that prevented sales between 1:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. by allowing holders of licenses for on-premises consumption to sell alcoholic liquor until 2:00 a.m. if they are licensed as a horse racetrack, while other establishments remain subject to the 1:00 a.m. closing time unless a municipality enacts an earlier closing hour by ordinance.
