An Act To Require Retailers To Place Any Liquor That Is Accessible To Customers At Least 48 Inches From The Payment Terminal

LD 1334 requires retail stores selling alcohol to position any liquor accessible to customers (not behind counters or in display cases) at least 48 inches away from cash registers or payment terminals. This applies directly to retailers who sell liquor at checkout areas, such as convenience stores or gas stations with alcohol sales. The key provision mandates a physical separation between alcohol displays and payment points to reduce impulse purchases near checkout. The bill does not affect liquor stored behind counters or in locked display cases.
