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 replaces "legal resident alien" with "non-citizen who is legally authorized to work," thereby expanding the eligibility for employment in this sector to include non-citizens.

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 legislative change aims to provide more employment opportunities within the alcohol delivery industry for non-citizens who have the legal right to work in the country.
