AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND GATHERING LICENSES.


BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:


Section1Amend §514(d) of Title 4 of the Delaware Code by deleting said subsection in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

"(d)For purposes of this section only, the price paid for alcoholic liquors to be sold at a gathering of persons licensed under this section shall be a price agreed upon between the said licensee and the retailer or importer from whom said alcoholic liquors are purchased.It is permissible for a retailer or importer to donate some or all of the liquor to the gathering licensee so long as a license has been granted for the gathering by the Commissioner prior to the donation.".

Section 2.Amend §514(a) of Title 4 of the Delaware Code by deleting said subsection in its entirety and replacing said subsection with the following:

"(a)If alcoholic liquors are to be sold during a gathering of persons, the manager or person in charge of such gathering, or the owner, tenant or person in charge of the premises in which the gathering is being held, must obtain one of the types of gathering licenses provided for in this section. Either of said licenses shall permit consumption of alcohol on the premises where sold and shall permit sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises where sold by way of a raffle or auction, live or silent, so long as the amount of alcohol sold for consumption off of the premises where sold does not exceed 10 gallons (or 38 liters) in a single day.".


SYNOPSIS

This Act would allow, but not require, retailers and importers (a.k.a. wholesalers) to donate alcoholic beverages to not-for-profit organizations if such organization has obtained a "gathering license" from the Commissioner.This Bill would also permit a gathering licensee to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises where the alcohol was sold so long as such sale is by means of a raffle or auction, live or silent, and the total amount of alcohol sold does not exceed 10 gallons in a single day.Many not-for-profit organizations would like to raise donations at their fundraisers by raffling or auctioning alcohol and also allow patrons to take the purchased alcohol off the premises, which is currently not permitted.
