"Section 61-4-45.    (A)    The department may issue a license or permit allowing a retailer to offer curbside delivery or pick up through curbside service of beer or wine if the retailer:

(1)     has a clearly designated curbside area abutting or adjacent to or in close proximity to its business;

(2)     requires a customer to provide a valid government-issued identification at the time of pickup;

(3)     prohibits the use of curbside delivery or curbside pickup service by an intoxicated person or a person under the age of twenty-one; and

(4)     requires the employee delivering sealed containers of beer or wine to a customer's vehicle to be eighteen years or older.

(B)    The curbside delivery and pickup of alcoholic liquors is prohibited.

(C)    The section may not be interpreted to authorize:

(1)     the curbside delivery or pick up through curbside service of open containers of beer or wine;

(2)     the delivery of alcohol including delivery through a third-party delivery service; or

(3)     the drive-through pickup of beer or wine."
