AI Summary

  • Eliminates the liquor-licensed drugstore license effective January 1, 2025; all existing licenses convert to fermented malt beverage and wine retailer licenses, except single-location licensees may convert to retail liquor store licenses.

  • Removes the cap on alcohol beverages retail liquor stores can purchase from other retail liquor stores, while maintaining a $5,000 monthly purchase limit from other retailers for most on-premise and off-premise licensees.

  • Prohibits fermented malt beverage and wine retailers from selling beverages exceeding 14% alcohol by volume for malt beverages or 21% for wine, and restricts temporary displays of these beverages to designated areas away from nonalcoholic items and store entries.

  • Expands wholesaler anti-discrimination requirements to prevent preferential pricing and product availability for multi-location retailers over single-location retailers, allowing the state to recover enforcement costs from violators.

  • Permits retail liquor stores to deliver alcohol to other retail liquor stores and allows public assistance ATM cards to function at fermented malt beverage and wine retailers and liquor-licensed drugstores.
