Bill Summary
Craft Beer Distribution & Modernization Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Craft Beer Distribution & Modernization Act, makes several changes to North Carolina's alcohol laws. It clarifies that the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) laws should be interpreted to limit, rather than expand, commerce in alcoholic beverages. It increases the annual production limit for breweries to self-distribute their malt beverages from 25,000 to 100,000 barrels. It also prohibits the state's ABC Commission from granting exemptions that would allow a brewery to have more than three additional retail locations beyond the brewery. Additionally, the bill adds new purposes for the state's regulation of the business relationship between malt beverage manufacturers and wholesalers, such as preventing unfair trade practices and protecting wholesaler investments.
