The bill introduced by Representative Lacombe enacts a new provision under R.S. 26:71(A)(8) concerning permits for manufacturing distillers in Louisiana. This new legal language establishes that in-state manufacturing distillers who produce less than one hundred gallons of distilled spirits will be required to obtain a permit, with a fee set at one hundred dollars. This addition aims to regulate smaller distilleries and ensure compliance with state laws regarding the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages.

The bill does not include any deletions from existing law but adds specific requirements for smaller distillers, thereby creating a more structured permitting process for this segment of the industry. By implementing this new permit requirement, the legislation seeks to enhance oversight and regulation of the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages in Louisiana.
