HF 162: Relating to excess beverage container refund value possessed by the alcoholic beverages division

Died when the session ended · The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to excess refund value possessed by the alcoholic beverages division (ABD). Under current law, with some exceptions, ABD has the exclusive right of importation into the state of all forms of alcoholic liquor. A class “E” retail alcohol licensee may purchase alcoholic liquor from ABD at wholesale only. When ABD sells alcoholic liquor to a dealer, ABD adds cents per eligible container to the sale price. When a dealer sells beverages in eligible containers to a consumer, the dealer adds the 5-cent deposit to the sale price of each container.
