Bill > LB1115

This bill amends Nebraska law to exempt microbreweries from certain requirements related to distribution agreements with beer wholesalers, aiming to foster a fairer and more competitive beer distribution system. Specifically, it clarifies that existing laws governing the termination, expiration, and renewal of these agreements, as well as rules about wholesalers dedicating resources to sales and quality control, do not apply to agreements between microbreweries and wholesalers entered into or amended after the bill's operative date of October 1, 2026. The bill also defines "supplier" to exclude microbreweries and provides a grace period for existing agreements between microbreweries and wholesalers, requiring them to be renewed in writing by October 1, 2027, to remain in effect under the new provisions.
