151st GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 373

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1. Amend § 904, Title 4 of the Delaware Code by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows:

§ 904. Offenses concerning certain persons.

(g) Nothing in this section shall prevent the employment of a person, 16 14 years of age or older, in clubs with authorized dining facilities, hotels, racetracks and restaurants licensed under this title where such employment has been authorized by permit issued by the Commission, provided that such a person shall not be involved in the sale or service of alcoholic liquor.

SYNOPSIS

Currently, there is ambiguity whether a person who is 14 or 15 years of age can be employed by restaurants, hotels, or dining facilities that serve alcoholic liquors. This bill removes that ambiguity and makes it clear that persons 14 and 15 years of age can be employed in such places where alcoholic liquors are served, but cannot be involved in the sale or service of alcoholic liquor.
