Bill > AB375

This bill makes several changes to Nevada's liquor laws, including authorizing county commissioners and city governing bodies to enact ordinances allowing food establishments to sell and deliver sealed alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption. The bill requires the Department of Taxation to establish a surcharge (up to 50 cents) on these sales, with revenues first covering the department's administrative costs and any remainder going to the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program. The legislation also expands provisions for craft distilleries, allowing certain distilleries with specific contractual rights to import neutral spirits and manufacture additional cases of an "exclusive distilled spirit" for export. Additionally, the bill renames the Ignition Interlock Program to the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program, broadening its scope and potential uses of funds. As a cultural note, the bill designates the Picon Punch, a traditional Basque drink, as Nevada's official state drink. The new provisions will largely take effect on October 1, 2025, giving state agencies time to develop necessary regulations and prepare for implementation.
