The resolution establishes the Mixed Spirit Beverage Task Force in Alabama to address the growing popularity of mixed spirit beverages, which are low-alcohol drinks made primarily from cane sugar or malted rice and mixed with flavored soda or seltzer. The task force aims to recommend legislation that will create legal guidelines for the distribution, sale, and taxation of these beverages, as current state laws do not account for this category, leading to potential revenue loss for the state and localities.

The task force will consist of various legislative leaders and their designees, ensuring a diverse representation reflective of Alabama's demographics. It is tasked with studying the current practices surrounding mixed spirit beverages and will focus on defining these beverages, their distribution within the existing three-tier system, licensing for retailers, and taxation. The task force is required to submit its recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature by the fifth day of the 2024 Regular Session, after which it will be dissolved.
