AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the sale of products by farmer distilleries and wineries. It allows local licensing authorities to issue special licenses to farmer wineries and distilleries to sell their products at certified agricultural events, such as farmers' markets or agricultural fairs. The bill outlines the requirements for these special licenses, including obtaining certification from the Department of Agricultural Resources, designating the specific premises and dates, and setting limits on sample sizes and number of samples served. The local licensing authority can charge a fee of up to $50 for each special license, which is non-transferable. The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission can also promulgate rules and regulations to implement this law.
