If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding liquor sampling by allowing beer and wine store or liquor store licensees with sampling privileges to maintain and report required sampling records using any reasonable means, rather than being mandated to use a singular system maintained by the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC). Specifically, the bill would insert provisions that prohibit DLLC from requiring a specific system for record-keeping and reporting, and it would require these licensees to report scheduled samplings to DLLC every two weeks.

Additionally, the bill would delete outdated language regarding the issuance of beer and wine bar licenses based on population increases, thereby updating the criteria for license issuance. The changes aim to streamline the process for licensees while ensuring compliance with reporting requirements, thus enhancing operational flexibility for businesses involved in liquor sampling.
