To deliver packages of malt beverages only, a licensee must hold a non-quota retail malt beverage package license. No additional licensure is required.

The retailer cannot deliver the alcoholic beverages to a minor or an intoxicated person. See KRS 244.080. The employee delivering the alcoholic beverage must be 20 years of age. See KRS 244.090. The vehicle used by a retailer must contain the licensee’s name and number as required by Board regulation. See 804 KAR 8:050.

See KRS 243.020(1), 243.490.

A conflict exists between an ordinance and a statute when the ordinance permits conduct which is prohibited by statute or prohibits conduct which is permitted by the statute. See Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company v. Commonwealth, 488 S.W.2d 329, 330 (Ky.1972). Local government cannot enact ABC ordinances without statutory authority. See Liquor Outlet, LLC v. Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, 141 S.W.3d 378 (Ky. Ct. App. 2004). A municipal ordinance which is not in compliance with statutory authorization is void and unenforceable. Id..
