What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill extends, from 15 days to 30 days, the maximum period of credit that

a wholesaler of fermented malt beverages (beer) may extend to a beer retailer.

Under current law, a beer retailer may not purchase or acquire beer from a beer

wholesaler except upon payment of cash or extension of credit for not more than 15

days. A beer retailer indebted for beer purchased or acquired more than 15 days

previously may not purchase or acquire beer from any beer wholesaler and may not

be issued another retail license or permit for the sale of beer.

This bill extends the maximum permissible credit period from 15 days to 30
