The bill amends the law regarding the issuance and transfer of wholesale permits for alcoholic beverages in Arkansas. Specifically, it allows for the issuance of new wholesaler permits on or after July 1, 2026, which was previously prohibited. Additionally, a new minimum wholesaler permit can be issued effective immediately upon the enactment of this act.

The bill also removes the previous stipulation that permits issued before September 1, 2013, could not be renewed or transferred. This change enables holders of older permits to renew and transfer their permits under the current regulations, thereby providing more flexibility in the wholesale distribution of alcoholic beverages.
