The bill, introduced by Representative Lacombe, enacts a new provision under R.S. 26:71(A)(8) concerning permits for manufacturing distillers in Louisiana. It establishes a requirement for in-state manufacturing distillers who produce less than one hundred gallons of distilled spirits to obtain a permit from the commissioner. The cost of this permit is set at one hundred dollars, aligning with the existing regulatory framework for alcoholic beverage businesses.

This addition aims to streamline the permitting process for small-scale distillers, ensuring they are compliant with state regulations while also providing a clear fee structure. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, focusing solely on the new insertion regarding the permit for small distillers.
