Summary

The bill removes mandatory administration and marketing fees that the state bureau or wholesale providers could charge small distilleries, limits inspections to once every three years and reporting to quarterly. It also lets small distilleries sell directly to on‑premises licensees, retailers, wholesalers, and even ship out‑of‑state by mail, and extends their license term from one to three years. The changes are intended to ease financial and regulatory burdens that have caused several small distilleries to close.
