This bill amends existing law to allow non-citizens who are legally authorized to work in the United States to deliver alcohol. Specifically, it modifies RSA 179:20, I by removing the restriction that only citizens of the United States or legal resident aliens can be employed to sell or deliver liquor or beverages. The new language inserted into the law clarifies that non-citizens who meet the legal work authorization requirements are also eligible for such employment.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approval date of July 15, 2025, and an effective date of September 13, 2025. This change aims to expand the workforce eligible for alcohol delivery services, reflecting a more inclusive approach to employment in this sector.
