TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) — Kansas lawmakers are one step away from considering a vote on allowing liquor delivery in Kansas.
Committee members in the Kansas Senate talked over Senate bill 253 this week. It would allow grocers, grocery stores and others to use a third party vendor to deliver to your doorstep.
Some Kansans say they would immediately use the delivery if it’s allowed under law.
“Oh, yeah. Chiefs games, absolutely. I mean we’re planning a Super bowl party right now so,” said Kansan Rocky Lane.
While it would be one less thing to put on the shopping list, some retailers say the concept needs more study before being allowed under Kansas law.
“I’m familiar with it. I do not believe that it is ready for Kansas,” said Courtney Klug, manager at Groves Retail Liquor. “I do believe that it is not ready at this moment. Minors can easily cheat the system.”
The proposed law change does consider things like proper ID on delivery. SB 253 would mandate things like delivery drivers needing to be 21 as well as a scanning technology needed for confirmation of ID upon delivery.
