MINOR

This bill amends the manufacturing limits for Class 18 small craft producer pub licenses in Hawaii, allowing license holders to produce significantly higher volumes of malt beverages and wine. The most critical change is the effective date, which has been set to July 1, 3000, effectively deferring the new limits indefinitely. Additionally, the bill includes minor formatting corrections to the text.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding manufacturing volume limits remains the same in intent but is currently inapplicable due to the future effective date.

TIMELINE

The effective date for the new manufacturing limits was changed from immediate approval to July 1, 3000.

REQUIREMENT

The maximum allowable production volume for malt beverages was adjusted, and the text for wine limits was corrected to reflect a higher threshold.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and text cleanup changes were made to the bill header and description sections.
