No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code to require the holder of a brewpub license who holds a wine and beer retailer's permit and whose sale of beer, ale, or malt liquor consists only of beer, ale, or malt liquor manufactured on the brewpub's premises to sell beer, ale, or malt liquor to certain retailers. It is assumed the cost to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
