What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a "Class B" retail license authorizes the retail sale of

intoxicating liquor, which includes wine and distilled spirits, for consumption on the

retail premises and, subject to various restrictions, the retail sale of intoxicating

liquor in original packages for consumption off the retail premises. A retail licensee

may not possess intoxicating liquor purchased from any person other than a

wholesaler.

Current law also authorizes a manufacturer, rectifier, or wholesaler of

intoxicating liquor to furnish taste samples, free of charge, on "Class

B" licensed

premises to attendees of a trade show, conference, convention, or business meeting

(event) held on the premises by a trade association of "Class B" retailers.

This bill allows wineries to also provide taste samples at these trade association

events.
