summary

This amendment strikes the provisions in the bill that permit a manufacturer who takes part in a taste-testing event to also sell the manufacturer's products at that event for off-premises consumption. The bill eliminates the requirement that a manufacturer provide advance notice to the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations that the manufacturer is selling its product at a farmers' market. The amendment maintains that requirement and requires that notice of a taste-testing event also be provided to the bureau. The amendment clarifies that spirits sold by a small distillery at a farmers' market may be sold in the same manner as permitted under current law when a small distillery sells spirits from its manufacturing facility for off-premises consumption. The amendment maintains the authorization in the bill that manufacturers of liquor may conduct a taste testing at farmers' markets. The amendment specifies that the manufacturer must comply with the bylaws of the farmers' market in order to conduct a taste testing and that a farmers' market is limited to 2 taste-testing events per month at which a manufacturer may offer the manufacturer's product for taste testing.
