2017 Senate Bill 579

Senate Roll Call 621: Passed

To allow small distillers to keep more of the profits on the liquor they make, and reduce the percentage of gross profit on distilled liquor that liquor stores must give the state. Under current law the state is the sole statewide wholesaler of all distilled liquor, and imposes uniform statewide prices that include markups that of between 51 percent and 65 percent. The bill would change that to 20 percent on a producer's first 60,000 gallons..
