AI Summary
This bill updates regulations for native wineries and distilleries in Mississippi, allowing them to ship their products directly to residents within the state, provided the recipient is 21 years or older and the shipment is not going to a "dry" county. It also expands the ability for these businesses to operate additional tasting rooms, permitting up to two more locations per winery or distillery, with each new tasting room requiring its own permit. The bill clarifies that a 24.5% additional markup, typically applied to alcoholic beverages, will not apply to native wines or spirits that retailers pick up directly from the winery or distillery. Furthermore, it removes a sunset provision for festival permits, making them permanent, and makes conforming changes to tax and permit provisions.
