Senate Bill 652 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to authorize the holder of a brewer's permit, distiller's and rectifier's permit, winery permit, wine bottler's permit, or manufacturer's license to transfer in bulk an alcoholic beverage produced by the permittee or licensee to any other such permittee or licensee provided that the alcoholic beverage transferred is used only for manufacturing purposes by the recipient and the transfer is permitted by federal law. The bill makes certain credit restrictions applicable to the bulk purchase of liquor by the holder of an industrial permit from the holder of a wholesaler's permit.
Senate Bill 652 also authorizes the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit to purchase, rather than import, distilled spirits to be used only for manufacturing or rectification purposes not only from holders of nonresident seller's permits but also from holders of distiller's and rectifier's permits.
