Mixed spirit beverages, providing for distribution, retail sale, and tax

Summary

The bill defines “mixed spirit beverages,” ready‑to‑drink drinks containing no more than 7% alcohol by volume, and requires them to be sold through licensed wholesalers to licensed retailers rather than only in ABC stores. It adds an excise tax, mandates exclusive sales‑territory agreements, and imposes penalties on anyone who sells these drinks to people under 21. The changes affect manufacturers, distributors, retailers and consumers of these beverages.
