Bill > S2596

This bill expands the ability of farmer distilleries and wineries to sell their products at indoor and outdoor agricultural events. Specifically, it allows local licensing authorities to issue special licenses to these businesses, enabling them to sell their wine, malt beverages, and distilled spirits in sealed containers for off-premises consumption at such events. The bill also outlines requirements for the events to be certified as "agricultural events" by the Department of Agricultural Resources, and sets limits on the size of samples that can be provided to customers. Additionally, the bill provides details on how these special licenses can be obtained and used, including the ability to use a portion of premises already licensed under a different license.
