Senate Bill 1450 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to authorize the holder of a mixed beverage permit to deliver, or have delivered by a third party, an alcoholic beverage from the permitted premises to an ultimate consumer located off‑premises and in an area where the sale of the beverage is legal if certain specified conditions are met. The bill creates a consumer delivery permit, the holder of which may contract with or employ a driver for the delivery of an alcoholic beverage from the premises of the holder of a retailer's permit to an ultimate consumer located in an area where the sale of the beverage is legal. The bill sets out additional provisions relating to such deliveries with respect to areas and hours of delivery, driver requirements, a delivery training program and software verification system, retailer responsibilities, and responsibilities of the holder of a consumer delivery permit applicable to the actions of a delivery driver. The bill makes the delivery for commercial purposes of an alcoholic beverage to an intoxicated person with criminal negligence a misdemeanor offense.
