The bill aims to amend the law regarding alcoholic beverages by repealing the existing regulations concerning the issuance and transfer of wholesale permits. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate Arkansas Code 3-4-609, which outlines the conditions under which wholesaler permits can be issued and transferred. This repeal means that no new wholesaler permits will be issued under the specified sections after September 1, 2013, although existing permit holders can still renew their permits.

By removing these provisions, the bill simplifies the regulatory framework surrounding wholesale permits for alcoholic beverages in Arkansas. The repeal indicates a shift in policy that may aim to streamline the process for wholesalers or reflect changes in the market dynamics of alcoholic beverage distribution.
