Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill establishes a new license for bonded and nonbonded beer warehouses, allowing for the storage and handling of both beer in bond (not yet taxed) and tax-paid beer off the premises of a brewery, provided it complies with federal law and state rules. This new license, costing $150 annually unless the applicant already holds a wine warehouse license, permits the storage of beer for brewers and other licensed entities, and allows for transfers in bond from out-of-state manufacturers, but prohibits processing or bottling within the warehouse. The bill also clarifies that domestic breweries can operate an off-site warehouse for distribution, but only one such warehouse is permitted, and it amends existing law regarding wine warehouses to waive the fee for this new beer warehouse license if an applicant already holds a wine warehouse license.
