Bill Information

Presenter:
Michael O. Moore
Status:
Referred to Senate Committee on Ways and Means
This bill would allow licensed liquor stores to sell directly to caterers. Current law limits this practice to wholesalers, which can cause significant burdens for small events that don’t require expansive beverage options. Allowing package stores to supply these events will provide a boost to their sales numbers and give local caterers more flexibility and convenience when they consider alcohol needs.
