Relating to the storage of alcoholic beverages by the holder of a passenger transportation permit.

HB 4285 allows airlines and other passenger transportation permit holders to sell or serve alcoholic beverages on commercial flights - even when crossing areas where alcohol sales are prohibited - without violating local laws. It also permits these permit holders to store sealed alcoholic beverages at airports they regularly serve or within five miles of such airports in the same county, following commission rules. The bill directly affects airlines and transportation companies holding passenger transportation permits under Texas law. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and modifies Section 48.03(b) of the Alcoholic Beverage Code to enable these changes.
