Summary

Under this Act, two circumstances which currently subject alcoholic liquor license holders or individuals to fines will be permitted: (1) An individual who is 19 years or older may serve alcohol to taproom patrons if the taproom has a separate dining facility that seats at least 12 people, provides complete meals, and has been approved by the Commissioner as meeting the requirements of this Act. (2) A taproom may allow an individual under the age of 21 years to enter the licensed premises until 9:00 p.m., if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and if the taproom has a separate dining facility that seats at least 12 people, provides complete meals, and has been approved by the Commissioner as meeting the requirements of this Act. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
