Amend the amendment by striking out all of subsection 5 (page 1, lines 29 to 35 and page 2, lines 1 and 2) and inserting the following:
 
‘5.  Common carrier.  Shipments made in accordance with this chapter must be made by a common carrier and must be accompanied by a shipping label that clearly indicates the name of the direct shipper and the name and address of the recipient. The common carrier shall obtain the signature of a person 21 years of age or older at the address listed on the shipping label prior to delivery of the shipment. The common carrier shall request photographic identification from the person signing for the shipment and verify that the person is 21 years of age or older.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment changes the requirements for delivery as proposed in Committee Amendment "A" in the following ways:
1. It removes the requirement that the common carrier be approved by the bureau in the Department of Public Safety responsible for enforcing the liquor laws;
2. It requires the shipment to be accompanied by a shipping label, instead of an invoice, that indicates the name of the shipper and the name and address of the recipient; and
3. It requires the common carrier to obtain the signature of a person who is at least 21 years of age, and photographic identification, prior to delivering the shipment. The committee amendment allowed the shipment to be delivered only to the recipient.
