ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- There could soon be another way to get alcohol in New Mexico.
Home delivery has been discussed for years, and now those leading the renewed charge are confident the changes will become law this year. Bills in the state legislature expected to be taken up this session also include dramatically lowering licensing costs for restaurants that want to serve liquor.
The proposed changes are meant to help people and many of the state’s businesses that are struggling during the pandemic.
ALCOHOL DELIVERY
The types of businesses that would be able to deliver alcohol include grocery stores, liquor stores, breweries, wineries, craft distilleries, and restaurants. Although, restaurants would be unable to deliver liquor.
