The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 151, seeks to amend title 30 of the general statutes to provide greater flexibility for beer manufacturer permittees regarding self-distribution. Specifically, the bill allows these permittees, who have contracts with wholesaler permittees, to self-distribute a reduced quantity of beer. Additionally, it permits them to limit their self-distribution to either customers within a specified distance from their brewery or to a certain number of customers.
Furthermore, the bill includes a provision to study how beer manufacturer permittees can more easily terminate their contracts with wholesaler permittees. This legislative change aims to modify existing requirements related to self-distribution and improve the contractual relationship between beer manufacturers and wholesalers. No specific deletions from current law are mentioned in the text of the bill.
