HB 1455 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AUTHORIZE CERTAIN PRIVATE CLUBS TO PURCHASE CERTAIN PRODUCTS DIRECTLY FROM A SMALL BREWERY PERMIT HOLDER UNDER AN EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT.

HB 1455 allows private clubs located in entertainment districts to purchase specific beer products directly from small breweries with permits, under exclusive agreements. This law affects small breweries and private clubs, requiring both to be in adjacent counties and limiting breweries to one exclusive agreement with a single private club at a time. The bill changes existing rules by enabling direct sales between these entities without requiring distributor intermediaries for eligible products. It became law as Act 500 on April 10, 2025.
