Relating to operating agreements between holders of a distiller's and rectifier's permit and nonresident seller's permit.

SB 2923 allows nonresident distillers (outside Texas) with specific permits to partner with Texas distillers/rectifiers through formal agreements. It enables these nonresidents to manufacture, bottle, label, and sell their finished spirits in Texas under the Texas permit holder's premises. The agreement specifically permits activities like producing distilled spirits, rectifying products, and selling to Texas distillers, wholesalers, and authorized out-of-state manufacturers. This bill directly affects Texas distillery permit holders and nonresident alcohol producers seeking to operate in Texas, effective September 1, 2025.
