Bill > HB708

This bill repeals Section 14.05(c) of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, which relates to the sale of distilled spirits by distillers and rectifiers. While the specific details of the existing section are not provided in the bill text, the repeal suggests a change in how distilled spirits can be sold to ultimate consumers by permit holders in the state. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, which gives stakeholders in the alcoholic beverage industry ample time to prepare for the potential regulatory changes. Without the full context of the existing law, the precise impact of this repeal cannot be definitively determined, but it appears to be a targeted modification to the rules governing alcohol sales by distillers and rectifiers in Texas.
