Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Provides that the definition of "beer" includes beverages brewed or fermented wholly or in part from malt products. Provides that a caterer retailer license shall allow the holder, a distributor, or an importing distributor to transfer any inventory to and from the holder's retail premises and to purchase alcoholic liquor from a distributor or importing distributor to be delivered directly to an off-site event. Provides that a special use permit license shall allow the holder to purchase alcoholic liquor from a distributor or importing distributor to be delivered directly to the location specified in the special use permit license. Provides that a special use permit license shall allow the holder, a distributor, or an importing distributor to transfer any inventory from the premises specified in the special use permit license to its retail premises. Provides that, if certain conditions are met, nothing in the Act prohibits a distributor or importing distributor from offering a credit or a refund for unused, salable beer to a special use permit licensee or a caterer retailer or a special use permit licensee or caterer retailer from accepting the credit or refund. In a provision that allows a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor to provide permanent outdoor signs to retailers if certain conditions are met, provides that the permanent outside sign shall cost not more than $3,000 per brand (instead of per manufacturer). Contains provisions concerning the servicing of certain systems by a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor. Prohibits a distributor or importing distributor from selling or giving coil cleaning services to certain licensees. Authorizes a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor to give, sell, or lease dispensing equipment to specified licensees if certain requirements are met. Makes other changes.
