Bill Summary
This bill authorizes the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue a daily or annual permit to the holder of a limited brewery license, restricted brewery license, craft distillery license, plenary winery license, farm winery license, or cidery and meadery license to sell the licensee's products at a seasonal farm market for consumption off the premises. The bill allows for the director to charge a fee not to exceed $25 for a daily permit, and a fee not to exceed $75 for an annual permit. In addition, the permit may be renewed provided the permit holder continues to hold the applicable limited brewery license, restricted brewery license, craft distillery license, plenary winery license, farm winery license, or cidery and meadery license. The bill also: 1) requires the issuance of a separate permit for each seasonal farm market at which the licensee's products are intended to be sold; and 2) prohibits the issuance of a permit for use in connection with a roadside farm stand. Under the bill, "roadside farm stand" is defined as a location owned by a single farmer or producer at which the farmer or producer sells agricultural products only from the farmer's or producer's farm directly to consumers.
AI Summary
This bill allows businesses holding certain alcohol manufacturing licenses, such as limited brewery, craft distillery, and winery licenses, to obtain a daily or annual permit from the Director of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control to sell their products at seasonal farm markets for off-premises consumption. A separate permit is required for each market, and these permits can be renewed as long as the business maintains its original manufacturing license. The director can charge up to $25 for a daily permit and up to $75 for an annual permit, and the bill specifically prohibits issuing permits for "roadside farm stands," which are defined as single-farmer locations selling only their own farm products directly to consumers.
