This bill amends the Nebraska Liquor Control Act by redefining certain terms and removing nonalcoholic beer from its regulations. Specifically, it updates the definition of "alcoholic liquor" to exclude nonalcoholic beer, which is now defined separately as containing less than one-half of one percent of alcohol by volume. The bill also eliminates the term "near beer" from the legal language, thereby clarifying the distinction between alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

Additionally, the bill repeals original sections of the law that are no longer applicable, including section 53-160.02. The changes aim to harmonize the provisions of the Nebraska Liquor Control Act and streamline the regulatory framework surrounding alcoholic beverages, particularly in relation to nonalcoholic options.
