The bill would amend Chapter 102 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, by adding Section 102.011, which allows certain intra-industry relationships between alcoholic beverage manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. The bill repeals current Section 102.11, which provides that a manufacturer or distributor cannot own any interest in the business or premises of a retail dealer of beer and cannot hold or have any interest in a license to sell brewery products for on-premises consumption.
The bill would significantly affect the licensing review process. Due to the expected complexity of some of the ownership arrangements, the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) would need to hire additional staff for the review process and to represent the agency in legal hearings. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2013.
