Relates to license fees required to be paid by wholesale beer licensees to sell cider
This bill allows wholesale beer sellers to also sell cider at wholesale by requiring them to pay a one-time fee of $375. The fee is a single payment rather than an annual charge, and the cider license lasts for the same period as the seller's existing wholesale beer license. Businesses that currently hold a wholesale beer license can immediately begin selling cider to other licensed retailers and out-of-state customers once they pay the fee. The law applies to cider sold in bottles, barrels, or casks and aligns the regulations with those already in place for wholesale beer sales.
