Bill > HB2605

This bill creates a new special permit for beer manufacturers, allowing them to host private events where they can offer tastings and sell their own beer. This permit, costing ten dollars per event, is intended for events not open to the general public and requires an application to be submitted at least ten days before the event. The permit must be displayed prominently during the event, and a single manufacturer can hold no more than twelve such events per year. This provision is an addition to existing laws that already allow for special permits for various purposes, including medical, scientific, and other business-related alcohol use, as well as permits for events like banquets and wine tastings.
