Bill Summary

Establishing a Class L beer, wine, and liquor license; authorizing a local licensing board to issue the license to a holder of a manufacturer's license; providing that the license authorizes the license holder to sell or provide samples of certain beer, wine, and liquor for on-premises consumption under certain circumstances; establishing a license fee of $250; etc.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a new "Class L" license for beer, wine, and liquor, which a local licensing board can issue to someone who already holds a manufacturer's license, meaning they are already authorized to produce alcoholic beverages. This new license will allow the holder to sell beer, wine, and liquor produced by themselves or another manufacturer for consumption on their premises, and also to offer free samples of these beverages. The hours during which sales can occur under this Class L license will be the same as those permitted by the manufacturer's license. The annual fee for this new Class L license is set at $250, and the law will take effect on July 1, 2026.
