Establishes the small wholesaler liquor license
This bill creates a new "small wholesaler liquor license" for businesses with annual gross revenue under $500,000. It allows these license holders to sell liquor wholesale to licensed retailers, manufacturers making non-beverage products, and for interstate sales under other states' laws, including wine sales without extra fees. The license requires a $2,000 annual fee and specific application documentation. It directly affects small liquor wholesalers who previously couldn't access this license tier. The bill becomes effective 120 days after enactment.
