Alcohol Beverage Delivery & Takeout

Current law authorizes certain businesses licensed to sell alcohol beverages at retail by the drink to deliver these beverages or to allow the customer to take these beverages from the licensed premises. This authorization is scheduled to repeal on July 1, 2025. The bill removes this repeal, thereby continuing indefinitely the authorization for alcohol beverage delivery and takeout by specified licensees.

A hotel and restaurant licensee or tavern licensee is prohibited from allowing takeout and delivery in a sealed manufacturer's container without the assistance of the license holder's employee, unless the license holder is a lodging establishment.
