package store permit issued for a location within a city or town or |
|
within two miles of the corporate limits of a city or town, who also |
|
holds a local cartage permit, may make deliveries of and |
|
collections for alcoholic beverages off the premises in areas where |
|
the sale of the beverages is legal. The permittee must travel by |
|
the most direct route and may make deliveries and collections only |
|
within the county or the city or town or within two miles of its |
|
corporate limits, and only in response to bona fide orders placed by |
|
the customer, either in person at the premises, in writing, by mail, |

|
placed bona fide orders and who are located in an area that the |

|
who also holds a local cartage permit, is authorized to directly |
|
deliver to under this section. The holder of a package store permit |
|
or wine only package store permit may also deliver alcoholic |
