AB 375 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to intoxicating liquor. (BDR 32-1049)

AB 375 allows licensed establishments (like bars or restaurants) to sell mixed drinks in sealed containers for off-premises consumption and deliver them within their licensed jurisdiction, subject to specific packaging rules requiring visible tamper evidence. It mandates a 50-cent surcharge per sale to fund alcohol-related programs (like ignition interlock initiatives), updates employee training requirements to include delivery procedures, and designates Picon Punch as Nevada's official state drink. The bill directly affects alcohol-serving businesses, consumers purchasing sealed mixed drinks, and local governments that may impose additional fees or opt out of the new sales. Key mechanisms include the sealed container requirement, surcharge collection for state programs, and revised employee training curriculum.

MODERATE

This bill authorizes restaurants to sell and deliver alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for off-premises consumption, a capability previously limited to liquor stores. It creates a new 50-cent surcharge on these sales to fund Department of Taxation costs and an ignition interlock program. The bill also expands rights for craft distilleries to import and use neutral spirits and designates Picon Punch as Nevada's official state drink.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of alcohol sales from on-premises consumption only to include off-premises sales and delivery by food establishments, while simultaneously creating new exemptions for these deliveries from standard liquor transport laws.

ELIGIBILITY

Food establishments are now authorized to sell and deliver alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for off-premises consumption, provided local ordinances allow it.

FISCAL

A new 50-cent surcharge is imposed on each off-premises alcohol sale, with revenues split between the Department of Taxation and the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program.

EXEMPTIONS

Deliveries of sealed alcoholic beverages by food establishments are exempt from certain state laws governing the transport of liquor.

DEFINITION

A new definition for 'covered food establishment' is created to specify which businesses qualify for the new sales and delivery privileges.

REQUIREMENT

Craft distilleries with specific pre-2025 contracts are now permitted to import neutral spirits and manufacture exclusive distilled spirits, increasing their production capacity and export limits.

SCOPE

The Ignition Interlock Program is renamed and its funding purposes are expanded to include DUI reduction initiatives.

The Picon Punch is officially designated as the state drink of Nevada.
