CT SB00014

Repeals and replaces Section 30-68m of the general statutes, effective July 1, 2016.

Redefines "cost" for retail liquor permits to mean the actual cost paid per bottle to the wholesaler plus shipping or delivery charges, rather than the posted bottle price.

Eliminates the previous definition of "bottle price" that required adding 2-8 cents per unit based on bottle size.

Maintains the prohibition against selling alcoholic liquor below cost, with an exception allowing one beer item or one non-beer item per month to be sold at no less than 90% of cost with advance notification to the Department of Consumer Protection.
