AI Summary

  • Removes the requirement that listings of on-sale and off-sale retailers be made only in response to direct consumer inquiries, allowing nonretail industry members to proactively advertise where their products are sold.

  • Expands the definition of "nonretail industry member" to include brandy manufacturers and rectifiers, in addition to existing categories like beer manufacturers, winegrowers, and distillers.

  • Permits nonretail industry members to list contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, or other electronic media) for two or more unaffiliated retailers without this constituting a prohibited inducement or thing of value.

  • Maintains conditions that listings cannot include retail prices, cannot reference only one retailer or establishments controlled by the same retailer, and must be made or paid for exclusively by the nonretail industry member.
