Prohibits alcohol sales to persons inside of motor vehicles
This bill would generally stop liquor stores from selling alcohol to customers who are sitting inside their cars. The main rule is that a store cannot make such a sale unless it has a specific license allowing it to sell alcohol for take-out. This change directly affects retail alcohol sellers and consumers who might currently buy drinks while seated in vehicles. The law would take effect 30 days after it is officially passed.
