The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

When on-premises retail licensees like bars and restaurants run out of wine and liquor, they have no flexibility to immediately replenish those bottles outside of arranging a purchase/delivery of such products from their wholesaler. Unfortunately, two likely outcomes exist: (1) eating and drinking establishments lose out on revenue, and (2) paying patrons, including those at private and catered parties, miss out on their preferred beverages. This bill would grant a little leeway to on-premis- es retail licensees to quickly and easily buy small quantities of alco- hol from a nearby liquor store without upending the traditional wholes- aler-retailer relationship. FISCAL IMPACT: Potentially greater tax revenue.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
