LAS CRUCES – New liquor laws are coming to New Mexico this summer. While one local vendor doesn't see itself taking advantage of a notable change allowing for home delivery, a local craft distillery sees the new law as an opportunity to expand the reach of the drinks it sells.
On March 17, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law House Bill 255, an overhaul of the state’s liquor laws. Among the sweeping changes include a new class of liquor licenses for restaurants, home delivery of alcohol and tax deductions for existing license holders. It also makes it cheaper to obtain certain licenses.
