CML opposes Proposition 126: Third-Party Delivery of Alcohol Beverages

This citizen-initiated statute allows third-party companies to deliver alcohol from liquor licensed businesses to persons 21 years of age or older beginning March 1, 2023.  Deliveries would be subject to state law and regulations and enforced through permits issued only by the state.  Current law should be changed to permanently allow takeout and delivery of alcohol from bars and restaurants.  A liquor licensee will not need to obtain a delivery permit if the delivery is made by an employee who is at least 21 years old and, for off-premises licensed retailers, utilizes a vehicle owned or leased by the licensee.  Once alcohol is transferred to a third-party delivery company, the liquor-licensed retailer is not responsible for the actions of the third-party.  This will make it difficult for municipalities to enforce liquor laws, as municipalities will have no authority normally found in state and local licensing permitting.  As a result of these changes, there may be an increased need for enforcement efforts, which could increase workload and costs to local licensing authorities. 

Each year, CCI compiles sample ballots across counties as a resource. Where available, the county name has been linked to its sample ballot.
