AI Summary

This bill: Allows the holder of a distillery retailer's permit to sell alcoholic beverages to consumers for on-premises consumption and to add other beverages, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, to the product manufactured at the distillery, as long as the total volume of other beverage components containing alcohol does not exceed 20%. The hours of on-premises sales for distillery retailers will be the same as those authorized for on-premises permittees in the city or county where the distillery is located. Authorizes the Department of Revenue to promulgate rules to facilitate a retailer's on-site pickup of distilled spirits sold by the Department, so the spirits can be delivered to the retailer at the distillery instead of being shipped from the Department's warehouse. Creates two privilege license tax tiers for the manufacturer's permit, Class 1 (distillers and rectifiers), based on annual production volume - $4,500 for 5,000 gallons or more, and $2,800 for under 5,000 gallons.
