Committee refines and approves changes to delivery-permit structure for alcoholic-beverage permits

Feb 11, 2025

The committee adopted amendments to Senate Bill 98 to clarify retail-permit-holder definitions, set a $500 annual third-party delivery-permit fee payable to the Alcoholic Beverage Control division, remove a rebuttable presumption, and add detail on delivery-driver training; the amended bill passed the committee.

The full story

Senate Bill 98 returned to the City, County & Local Affairs Committee with amendments clarifying multiple operational details for retail and third-party delivery permits administered by the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) division. The sponsor explained changes that narrow the definition of a retail permit holder to establishments open to the public (minimum exposure thresholds were added), set a $500 annual fee for third-party delivery permits to be retained by the division, removed a contested rebuttable presumption, and added more detailed training requirements for delivery drivers.
