An Act relative to carriers of property by motor vehicle

This bill allows licensed alcohol retailers to hire motor vehicle carriers, such as trucking companies or parcel delivery services, to transport their products directly to consumers. To operate under this new rule, these carriers must obtain a fleet permit from the state department and pay an annual fee of $3,500, which covers all vehicles owned or leased by the permit holder. The legislation requires that all alcohol packages be clearly labeled and mandates that delivery personnel verify the recipient is at least 21 years old, either by obtaining a physical signature with age certification or by using an electronic device to record the signature and ID verification. Additionally, the law limits the total volume of alcohol that can be transported under a single permit to 108 liters.
