OH HB306

Amends the definition of "manufacturer" in the Alcohol Franchise Law to exclude beer manufacturers that produced 250,000 or fewer barrels in the preceding calendar year.

Changes the production threshold for Permit A-1 (brewery manufacturers) from one million gallons to one million barrels of beer in a calendar year.

Changes the production threshold for Permit A-1c (small brewery manufacturers) from one million gallons to one million barrels, and establishes different selling rights based on whether production exceeded 250,000 barrels in the preceding year.

Sets the A-1c permit fee at $1,000 per plant annually, reducing the A-1 permit fee from $3,906 to align with the new structure.

Repeals and replaces existing sections 1333.82, 4303.02, and 4303.022 of the Revised Code.
