Bill Summary

Alcoholic beverage control; definitions; designer and vintage spirit bottles. Defines, for the purposes of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, "designer spirit bottle" and "vintage spirit bottle."

AI Summary

This bill amends the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act by adding new definitions for "designer spirit bottle" and "vintage spirit bottle" to clarify what types of spirits qualify for these classifications. A "designer spirit bottle" is defined as a spirit bottle that is considered upscale, fashionable, or in high demand, and is not readily available in government stores, is only available in limited quantities in-store, or is sold through the Authority's spirits lottery. A "vintage spirit bottle" is defined as a bottle of spirits that is collectible due to its unique size, shape, color, label, recipe, or age. These definitions are intended to provide clearer guidelines for the regulation and sale of specific types of alcoholic beverages.
