H 78 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to repealing the sunset of 7 V.S.A. § 230

This bill removes a temporary expiration date on Vermont's laws governing the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption, allowing licensed businesses to continue offering pickup and delivery services beyond July 1, 2023. The legislation directly affects alcohol retailers and delivery services by extending the legal authority for them to sell alcohol for takeout rather than on-site consumption. By repealing the sunset provision in 7 V.S.A. § 230, the bill ensures these sales remain legal without requiring new legislation to renew the authorization. The change takes effect immediately upon passage and applies to all existing retail licenses and permits for alcohol sales in the state.
