Alcoholic beverages; allow direct sales and shipments of certain and revise certain provisions regarding package retailer's permits.
HB 622 allows wineries and distilleries (with specific permits) to ship wine and distilled spirits directly to Mississippi residents aged 21 or older. It prohibits shipments of beer, light wines, or products already sold through state liquor stores, sets annual purchase limits per customer, and requires sellers to maintain records and verify buyer age. Sellers must obtain a "direct shipper" permit, report shipment details annually, and pay a tax on sales that funds mental health programs. The bill also creates new rules for shipping companies handling these deliveries.
