enabling on-premises licensees to sell drinks made with distilled alcohol for take-out.

HB 1481 allows restaurants with on-premises alcohol licenses to obtain a special "Restaurant Delivery License" ($250 annual fee) to deliver alcoholic drinks made with distilled alcohol for take-out. To qualify, deliveries must include food prepared by the restaurant, occur during business hours in permitted areas, and use sealed containers labeled with the restaurant’s name, drink description, and alcohol content (ABV). Deliveries must be made by employees aged 21+ who get a signed receipt from customers (excluding visibly intoxicated or underage individuals), and the bill prohibits deliveries to schools, libraries, parks, or public venues. This creates a new framework for alcohol delivery while maintaining existing rules about consumption and resale.
