What’s in it

AI summary Brewers cannot force wholesalers to use specific online shopping platforms or set unfair rules about using them. If a wholesaler does use a brewer's online platform, the brewer is not allowed to see information about what other competing products the retailer is selling. Wholesalers can take legal action if a brewer breaks these rules.1

Read the official explanation

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.
