ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Provides for the definition of "solicitor" with respect to alcohol. (8/1/24)
This bill updates Louisiana law to clearly define the term "solicitor" within the state's alcoholic beverage regulations. It specifies that a solicitor is anyone who offers or takes orders for regulated drinks to be delivered or shipped within the state, provided they are not an employee of a licensed dealer and are not operating from a regular business location. The change aims to clarify who falls under these rules for the purpose of enforcement and compliance, rather than creating new restrictions or penalties.
