Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 5-01-17 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to domestic winery ingredient utilization requirements and special event permits.

AI Summary

This bill amends North Dakota's domestic winery license requirements. It gradually increases the percentage of ingredients by volume (excluding water) that must be grown and produced in North Dakota, from 10% in the second year to 51% in the sixth and subsequent years of licensure. The bill allows the state tax commissioner to grant exemptions from this requirement if a shortage of in-state produce or other natural causes make compliance infeasible. It also increases the number of special event permits a domestic winery can obtain from 20 to 30 per calendar year. The bill aims to support North Dakota's domestic wine industry by balancing ingredient sourcing requirements with flexibility to account for supply challenges.
