CT SB00230

Eliminates the requirement for out-of-state wine shipper permittees to report detailed sales and shipment records to the Department of Consumer Protection, while maintaining audit requirements

Creates a new out-of-state retailer shipper's permit for wine at an annual fee of $600, allowing out-of-state retailers to ship wine directly to Connecticut consumers with a 5-gallon limit per person every two months

Requires applicants for liquor permits allowing on-premises consumption to provide detailed descriptions of live entertainment to be offered; placarding requirements apply when permittees seek to amend entertainment types

Clarifies that the Department of Consumer Protection must refuse liquor permits to minors serving as permittees or as members, principals, or partners of backers, but permits may still be issued to trusts with minor beneficiaries

Allows permittees to use electronic devices for age verification statements from customers, with electronic records stored in immediately accessible formats as an alternative to paper filing systems
