Summary

Session
2025 Regular Session
Title
ABC Board; establishing a new license for an educational tourism distillery
Description

This bill would create a new licensure category under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to be known as an "educational tourism distillery." This license would allow a manufacturer of liquor which hosts the public for tours, such as a distillery, to sell both the liquor it manufactures on site, and other alcoholic beverages, at retail to patrons for consumption at various locations on its premises.

This bill would require an educational tourism distillery licensee to pay tax on the liquor it manufacturers at the same rate at which liquor sold at an Alcoholic Beverage Control Board store is taxed.

This bill would also permit an educational tourism licensee to maintain a site, removed from its manufacturing facility, for the storage of the liquor it manufactures.
