AI Summary
- Vintage distilled spirits licensees must place a "Vintage Distilled Spirit" sticker on bottles prior to resale rather than immediately at purchase, and monthly reports must now include whether packages were part of an exempt collection and the licensee's purchase history from each seller
- Creates a new exception allowing licensees to purchase entire collections of 25 or more vintage distilled spirits packages at locations other than the licensed premises, with a limit of 10 such exceptions per 12-month period
- Expands the definition of "vintage distilled spirits seller" to explicitly include fiduciaries of estates, allowing estate administrators to sell vintage spirits to licensed buyers
- Limits both licensees and sellers to 24 vintage distilled spirits packages per seller/buyer combination per 12-month period, with exempt collection purchases not counting toward these limits
- Penalties for vintage spirits sellers violating purchase limits: $500 for first offense, $2,500 for second offense, and $5,000 for third and subsequent offenses
