A spokesperson for DoorDash released the following statement regarding the sending of the bill to the SC Senate.

Passing this bill brings South Carolina closer to joining the 31 other states in allowing responsible alcohol delivery by third-party platforms like DoorDash, and we applaud House lawmakers for taking this crucial step. Safe, responsible alcohol delivery will expand opportunities for thousands of Dashers and small businesses in the state, while bringing modern convenience and choice to South Carolinians. We look forward to continuing to work with lawmakers on this bill and urge the Senate to join their colleagues in unlocking this opportunity to benefit communities across South Carolina.
