What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires that wholesalers of fermented malt beverages (beer) enter into written agreements with brewers and brewpubs supplying beer brands that grant to the wholesalers distribution rights within exclusive sales territories. Under current law, with certain exceptions, if a wholesaler's distribution rights to a beer brand are terminated, the successor wholesaler assuming distribution rights of the brand must compensate the terminated wholesaler for the fair market value of the terminated distribution rights.
This bill specifies that "fair market value," for these purposes, does not include any amount related to a brewer's or brewpub's sale of beer that it brews and sells at retail within the terminated wholesaler's territory.
