Extending certain privileges granted to liquor licensees to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Summary

  • Includes authorizations for curbside service, takeout, and delivery of alcohol products, the sale by restaurants and distillers of premixed drinks and kits, the sale by restaurants of wine drinks by the glass, and the sale of growlers by certain licensees.
  • Requires the LCB to adopt rules related to the temporary privileges, directs the LCB to consider revising rules to provide greater flexibility for food service requirements for liquor licensees, and addresses the LCB's temporary relaxation of certain requirements.
