Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to alcoholic beverages, so as to authorize retail dealers to offer discounts to consumers through premiums, coupons, or rebates on alcoholic beverages purchased for consumption off the premises; to provide a definition; to provide certain conditions and requirements for the offering of such discounts; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes retail dealers in Georgia to offer discounts to consumers on alcoholic beverages sold for consumption off the premises. The discounts can be provided through the use of premiums, coupons, or rebates, but they must be offered at all the retail dealer's licensed premises and cannot be specific to any particular brand of alcoholic beverage. The costs associated with the discounts must be borne solely by the retail dealer, and no manufacturer or wholesaler can be involved in the arrangement. Additionally, the discounts cannot result in the alcoholic beverages being sold at a price less than the cost the retail dealer paid for them.
