This Minnesota bill (H.F. No. 2290) proposes regulations for third-party delivery services that deliver alcoholic beverages. It requires these services to obtain a license before delivering alcohol. Key provisions include:

• License Requirement: Alcohol deliveries must be made by either a licensed off-sale liquor retailer or a licensed third-party delivery service.
  
• License Issuance: The commissioner must issue licenses to third-party delivery services that meet the requirements and pay the licensing fee.
  
• Annual Fee: A third-party delivery license costs $500 per year.
  
• Employee Requirements: Delivery personnel must be at least 21 years old and can be either employees or independent contractors of the licensed third-party service.
  
• Age Verification: Customers purchasing alcohol through third-party delivery services must be at least 21 years old. Delivery personnel must verify the recipient’s age at the time of delivery.
  
• Training Requirement: Delivery personnel must complete alcohol awareness training before delivering alcoholic beverages, and records of training completion must be provided upon request.
  
• Insurance Requirement: Licensed third-party delivery services must obtain liquor liability insurance as mandated by state law.
  

This bill establishes a legal framework for third-party alcohol delivery, ensuring compliance with age verification, training, and insurance standards.
