SB 168 Delaware 153 session
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.
Senate Substitute 1 for SB 168 allows for the delivery of alcoholic liquors from any entity with a valid off-premise license. In addition, this substitute provides that acts of a licensed consumer delivery permittee or a delivery driver are not attributable to the retailer. This substitute bill differs from SB 168 in that it clarifies that § 516 of Title 4 applies to package stores, restaurants, and clubs, and not to hotels, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, tobacco retailers, or cigar stores. This substitute bill also separates a subsection into two parts, addressing curbside sales and deliveries, for purposes of clarity. In addition, this substitute bill provides that a third-party delivery vendor may charge package stores no more than a single, flat rate that is applicable to all package stores that enter into a delivery contract with the third-party delivery vendor—that is, the third-party vendor may not charge a different rate to different stores, or a different rate for different deliveries from the same store. Finally, this substitute bill provides that it takes effect 6 months after its enactment.
