Bill > AB404

This bill revises Nevada's laws related to alcoholic beverages, focusing on brew pubs and their operational capabilities. Specifically, the bill allows brew pub operators to sell additional types of alcoholic beverages at their establishments and in up to two retail liquor store locations, provided they obtain the necessary licenses and purchase all alcoholic beverages from licensed wholesalers. New restrictions include prohibiting new retail liquor store locations from being within 1,000 feet of a gaming establishment. The bill also expands the Department of Taxation's authority to investigate and take action against liquor licensees, allowing the department to independently conduct hearings and suspend or revoke licenses without relying solely on recommendations from county commissioners or city governing bodies. Additionally, the bill mandates new recordkeeping requirements for liquor manufacturers, requires electronic funds transfers for wholesale liquor transactions, and allows retailers to optionally pay for liquor deliveries by credit card. The legislation aims to provide more flexibility for brew pub operators while maintaining regulatory oversight of the alcoholic beverage industry.
