SB3359 Summary: Liquor Control Act Amendments

• Establishes a new "third-party retailer delivery license" allowing unlicensed persons to deliver alcoholic liquor purchased from licensed retailers to consumers for off-premises consumption.

• Creates licensing and operational requirements for third-party delivery services including background checks, liability insurance, BASSET server training for delivery personnel, and age/identity verification of recipients.

• Requires third-party delivery licensees to charge only reasonable delivery fees comparable to non-alcoholic products, fulfill orders from nearest retailer location, and maintain detailed delivery records for 3 years.

• Restricts third-party delivery to original package alcoholic liquor only (excluding mixed drinks prepared under Section 6-28.8) and prohibits delivery to on-premises consumption retailers, intoxicated persons, or underage individuals.

• Clarifies that only the State holds exclusive power to issue third-party retailer delivery licenses, preempting local regulation by home rule or non-home rule municipalities.
