This bill amends R.S. 26:351(3)(a) concerning the sale and shipment of alcoholic beverages in Louisiana, specifically focusing on the container size limitations for distilled spirits. The legislation establishes that distilled spirits, whether domestically bottled or imported, must adhere to specific metric standards of fill.

The key changes include the insertion of the phrase "not more than" before the container sizes of 1.00 liters and 750 milliliters, indicating a limitation on the maximum size of these containers that can be included in a shipping case. The bill maintains the existing container sizes for other volumes, such as 1.75 liters, 700 milliliters, and smaller sizes down to 50 milliliters, while ensuring compliance with the updated standards.
