Allows the U.S. Postal Service to mail alcoholic beverages under specific conditions.
The United States Postal Service Shipping Equity Act permits the U.S. Postal Service to mail alcoholic beverages, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include direct delivery to an addressee or authorized agent over 21 years old, presentation of valid government-issued photo ID, and no resale or commercial purpose. The Postal Service must establish regulations, and covered entities must certify compliance with state alcohol laws. The act does not preempt state, local, or tribal laws on alcohol delivery, shipment, or sale.
