Bill > SB00151

This bill proposes modifications to beer distribution regulations that would give beer manufacturers more flexibility in their distribution arrangements. Specifically, the bill would allow beer manufacturer permittees (licensees who produce beer) to self-distribute their products under more limited conditions, such as reducing the quantity of beer they self-distribute or restricting self-distribution to customers within a certain distance of their brewery or to a specific number of customers. Additionally, the bill mandates a study to explore ways beer manufacturers can more easily terminate their contracts with wholesaler permittees (distributors). The proposed changes aim to provide beer manufacturers with greater control over their distribution strategies, potentially offering more options for smaller breweries to manage their product sales and distribution relationships. By allowing more nuanced self-distribution approaches, the bill seeks to create more flexible regulatory environment for beer manufacturers in their business operations.
