HB 3336 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to an alcoholic beverage tax credit for certain liquor or malt beverage byproducts donated for agricultural use in this state.

HB 3336 creates a tax credit for Texas breweries and distilleries that donate spent grain (a byproduct of brewing liquor or malt beverages) for agricultural use. Eligible taxpayers can claim a credit of $0.08 per pound of dry weight donated for purposes like animal feed or composting, within 100 miles of where the grain was used. The credit is capped at $30,000 per year or the total taxes paid under the Alcoholic Beverage Code, whichever is lower. This applies only to donations made on or after the bill's effective date for taxes due after that date.

MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative format to a modern, clean layout. The substantive policy content regarding the tax credit for donating spent grain byproducts remains unchanged, including eligibility criteria, credit amounts, and effective dates. The changes are primarily cosmetic and organizational rather than substantive policy modifications.
TECHNICAL

Removed old page headers, footers, and tracking numbers (e.g., '89R23089 RDS-F') that were part of the original introduced version.

Reorganized the bill structure to place the title and sponsor information at the top, followed by the act text, improving readability.

Standardized spacing and line breaks throughout the document to create a cleaner, more professional appearance.

Removed redundant or fragmented text that appeared in the original markup, consolidating the bill into a single coherent document.
