An act relating to fourth-class licenses for alcoholic beverage manufacturers

This bill allows alcohol manufacturers and rectifiers in Vermont to hold up to 20 fourth-class licenses instead of just 10. It directly affects businesses that produce or process alcoholic beverages by changing how many retail licenses they can own. The key change is updating state law to permit a single manufacturer to acquire more fourth-class licenses while keeping the application fee at $70 for up to ten licenses. The bill becomes effective on July 1, 2023.
