The measure, which now goes to the governor, allows the state’s Division of Liquor Control to adopt rules allowing home delivery of distilled spirits in original containers.
“The ease of home delivery – especially during a pandemic – provides added convenience for Ohio consumers and additional revenue for the state,” said David Wojnar, VP-State Government Relations, Distilled Spirits Council of the United States . “We urge Governor DeWine to sign this measure so the Ohio Division of Liquor Control can move forward in making home delivery available to consumers.”
Home delivery is accompanied by the same safety protocols that all beverage alcohol purchases require by law including age verification to ensure underage persons do not illegally access alcohol and prohibitions on serving intoxicated patrons, DISCUS said.
