House Bill 2727 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to create a manufacturer's agent's warehousing permit and to authorize the holder of such a permit to receive beer, ale, or malt liquor from the holder of a nonresident brewer's permit or a nonresident manufacturer's license, store such products on permitted premises, transfer the products to certain licensed or permitted distributors or wholesalers in this state and to certain authorized persons outside this state, and return the products to the manufacturer or brewer from which they were originally received. The bill provides for the disposition of products received at permitted premises that are not labeled and approved for sale in this state. The bill requires the Alcoholic Beverage Commission to establish an annual fee and eligibility and reporting requirements for such a permit. The bill requires the permit holder's premises to be located in an area that is wet for the sale of beer, ale, and malt liquor and exempts an applicant for such a permit from certain residency requirements. House Bill 2727 stipulates that if any of these provisions are invalidated by a final, unappealable court order, all the provisions are invalid and any permit issued under them is void.
