This bill introduces a new section to RSA 178, specifically allowing the use of self-pour automated systems by holders of on-premises liquor licenses. The bill defines key terms such as "automated system," "licensee," and "quantity limit," and establishes conditions under which these systems can be utilized. Licensees must notify the liquor commission before implementing such systems, maintain constant video monitoring, and ensure that patrons can only access the automated system through an RFID device. The bill also outlines specific requirements for the automated systems, including limitations on the types of beverages dispensed, the necessity for proper labeling, and the prohibition of certain materials in the dispensing process.

Additionally, the bill mandates that RFID devices be deactivated after use, and it sets forth procedures for verifying patrons' ages and ensuring responsible service. Licensees are required to keep detailed records of age verification, cleaning, and calibration of the automated systems, all of which must be available for inspection. The commissioner is tasked with adopting rules regarding maximum sales limits. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of September 13, 2025.
