This section applies only in a jurisdiction where the local licensing board has adopted regulations to authorize the delivery of alcoholic beverages by a third–party contractor, an independent contractor, or an agent. A local licensing board may issue a local delivery service permit. The permit authorizes the holder to deliver alcoholic beverages from a retail license holder authorized to deliver alcoholic beverages under § 4–507 of this title to an individual in the jurisdiction where the retail license holder is located. A local licensing board may set by regulation: the application requirements for the local delivery service permit; and additional requirements for holders of the local delivery service permit who deliver alcoholic beverages on behalf of a retail license holder. The local licensing board may charge a fee for the local delivery service permit. The annual fee for the local delivery service permit is $1,000. A local delivery service permit holder may: use the delivery service’s employees or independent contractors who are at least 21 years old to deliver alcoholic beverages; and facilitate orders for the sale and delivery of alcoholic beverages by telephone, Internet, or other electronic means. The purchaser or receiver of alcoholic beverages under this section shall: be at least 21 years old; and provide valid identification as proof of age on receipt of the alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages sold for off–premises delivery under this section shall be: provided in the manufacturer’s original sealed container; and sold only during the hours the retail license holder is open for in–store purchases. An individual delivering alcoholic beverages under a local delivery service permit shall: be at least 21 years old; and have successfully completed an approved alcohol awareness program under § 4–505 of this title. A local delivery service permit holder may not deliver alcoholic beverages to: an individual who does not provide valid identification proving that the individual is at least 21 years old; another premises licensed to sell alcoholic beverages; or an individual located outside the jurisdiction where the retail license holder is located. A local delivery service permit holder is subject to the following penalties for violating this section: for a first violation, a fine of $1,000; for a second violation, a fine of $3,000 and a suspension of the local delivery service permit for 30 days; for a third violation, a fine of $6,000 and a suspension of the local delivery service permit for 60 days; and for any subsequent violation, revocation of the local delivery service permit. The holder of a local delivery service permit may not: sell alcoholic beverages; or store alcoholic beverages for delivery. A person shall apply to the local licensing board for a local delivery service permit before contracting to deliver alcoholic beverages for a retail license holder. If a retail license holder contracts with a local delivery service permit holder to deliver alcoholic beverages, the retail license holder and the local delivery service permit holder shall establish a method to ensure that the retail license holder retains control over sales to and payments made from a purchaser for the alcoholic beverages. The Executive Director may adopt regulations to enforce this section.
