BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Louisiana has loosened its alcohol delivery rules, making it easier to get beer and wine received at home, under a bill signed Thursday by Gov. John Bel Edwards.
Lawmakers passed the measure by Sen. Bret Allain, a Franklin Republican, in the regular session that ended June 1. With the governor’s signature, the changes take effect immediately.
Under the new law, third-party delivery services like UberEats and Waitr will be able to deliver beer and wine through contract workers. That expands a previous law that allowed grocery stores, restaurants and liquor stores to deliver beverages if they did so with their own employees. ___
