HB 1375: Delivery of alcohol

Concerning liquor licensee privileges for the delivery of alcohol.

Summary

  • Removes the July 1, 2023, expiration date for most liquor license privileges that were temporarily codified in 2021 based on allowances the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) provided during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Eliminates the privileges for curbside alcohol sales by various licensees and sales of cocktail kits by restaurants, requires a 95 percent compliance rate to maintain delivery privileges, and requires the LCB to create alcohol delivery endorsements at a cost of $50 to certain liquor licenses.
  • Requires an employee conducting alcohol deliveries for an endorsement holder to be at least age 21, to have a class 12 alcohol server permit, and have completed an approved alcohol server permit course with a curriculum component covering best practices for alcohol delivery.
  • Imposes a $5 fee on employees of liquor licensees who conduct deliveries at the time of issuance and replacement of their class 12 permit, to fund substance abuse prevention, education, and treatment services.
