Relating the authorization of the use of self-pour automated systems for nonintoxicating beer, cider and wine by the drink on licensee premises

HB 2076 authorizes licensed businesses (like bars and restaurants) in West Virginia to use self-pour automated systems for nonintoxicating beer, cider (under 6% alcohol), and wine sold by the drink on their premises. The bill requires that these systems dispense drinks only after a payment card is activated by staff, and customers must be verified as 21+ with matching government ID. Each serving is limited to 32 ounces for beer/cider or 10 ounces for wine before the system requires reactivation. This changes existing licensing rules to allow this technology while maintaining age verification and portion controls.
