Bill Summary
Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that a distributor of wine or spirits shall deliver to any retailer within any geographic area in which that distributor has been granted by a wholesaler the right to sell its trademark, brand, or name at least once every 2 weeks if the retailer agrees to purchase at least $200 of wine or spirits from the distributor every 2 weeks. Removes language setting forth a $50 minimum purchase of wine or spirits for a retailer located in a county with a population of less than 3,000,000 that is not adjacent to a county with a population of at least 3,000,000 inhabitants. Makes a conforming change.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934 to modify delivery requirements for wine and spirits distributors. Specifically, the bill removes the previous tiered purchase requirements based on county population and replaces them with a uniform standard that requires distributors to deliver to retailers at least once every two weeks, provided the retailer agrees to purchase at least $200 of wine or spirits during that period. The bill eliminates the previous differentiated minimum purchase amounts for retailers in counties with populations above or below 3,000,000 inhabitants. The legislation also makes a conforming change to a provision about dollar amounts, which appears to be a technical adjustment. The key change simplifies the delivery and purchase requirements for wine and spirits distributors, creating a more straightforward approach to retailer delivery obligations across different geographic areas of the state.
