Became HF 2780 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

This bill relates to alcoholic beverage control by making changes to distiller’s, vintner’s, and brewer’s certificates of compliance (certificates) and by allowing for the issuance of class “A” wine permits to nonnative wine manufacturers. The bill strikes a provision requiring persons participating in the distribution of an alcoholic liquor brand, other than manufacturers, distillers, and importers, to obtain a distiller’s certificate prior to the resale of that brand in this state. The bill also strikes a provision specifying the certificate is not required to be accompanied by a list of persons employed on the premises where alcoholic liquors are manufactured, processed, bottled, or packaged or who are employed in transporting such liquors.
