This bill amends and reenacts specific provisions of Louisiana's law regarding the size limitations on containers for beverages with high alcohol content. It establishes a maximum capacity for containers, stipulating that no manufacturer or wholesaler may possess such beverages outside of their bonded stockroom in containers exceeding 1.75 liters. The bill also specifies the number of containers allowed per shipping case for various sizes, including new maximum limits for certain smaller container sizes, such as 700 milliliters, 375 milliliters, 200 milliliters, and 100 milliliters.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the container size limitations do not apply to spirit-based beverages with an alcohol content below six percent. It modifies the existing regulations for wine containers, increasing the maximum number of containers allowed per case for certain sizes, such as changing the limit for 3-liter bottles from four to six. Overall, the bill aims to regulate the packaging and distribution of high-alcohol beverages more effectively while accommodating smaller container sizes for specific products.
