Rhode Island H7664 allows Class P licensees to buy alcohol from retail or wholesale establishments within the state.

Rhode Island H7664 amends the state's laws to allow holders of a Class P license to purchase alcoholic beverages from either a retail or wholesale establishment in Rhode Island. This change permits wholesalers to refuse orders or set minimum quantities or dollar values per order. The bill also includes provisions for serving alcohol at events, such as requiring proper identification for individuals under 30, limiting drinks to two per person, and prohibiting service to visibly intoxicated individuals. The license requires an annual fee of $500, paid to the Department of Business Regulation.
