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 requirement that employees must be citizens or "legal resident aliens" and replacing it with the stipulation that they must be "legally authorized to work." This change broadens the eligibility for employment in the alcohol delivery sector to include non-citizens who possess the necessary work authorization.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, thereby providing a clear timeline for implementation. By enabling non-citizens to participate in the delivery of alcohol, the legislation aims to address workforce shortages and enhance service capabilities within the industry.
