What’s in it

This bill prohibits a brewer from requiring a wholesaler to assent to any unreasonable requirement, condition, understanding, or term of an agreement prohibiting the wholesaler from utilizing, or requiring the wholesaler to utilize, a business-to-business electronic commerce platform offered by a brewer. If a wholesaler utilizes a business-to-business electronic commerce platform offered by a brewer, the bill prohibits the brewer from requesting or receiving any information related to a class “A” or special class “A” beer permittee’s sale of competitive products on the platform. A brewer that violates the provisions of the bill is subject to civil action by the aggrieved party pursuant to Code section 123A.9.
