AL HB407

Amends Section 28-1-4 of the Alabama Code to allow licensed delivery service companies to transport and deliver sealed beer and wine to Alabama residents age 21 and older for personal consumption, reversing the existing prohibition on residential delivery.

Requires delivery service licensees to obtain a license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board with a non-refundable filing fee of $100 and license fee of $1,000, plus annual renewal fees of $1,000.

Establishes applicant requirements including general liability insurance of at least $5 million per occurrence, attestation of age and criminal background clearance, and submission of an internal training program for delivery personnel covering identification verification and intoxication detection.

Limits deliveries to sealed containers only, with maximum volumes of 48 12-ounce beer containers or six 750-milliliter wine bottles per 24-hour period, and prohibits delivery to dry municipalities and college residence halls.

Requires delivery agents to verify recipient age 21 or older using identification scanning software at point of delivery, obtain signature confirmation, and return products if recipient appears intoxicated or fails age verification.
