The amendments specify that the on-premises license may be issued at the discretion of the commission and that the annual fee for each license will be as required under RSA 178:29.

The legal changes include insertions that expand the locations where an on-premises license can be held by a wine or beverage manufacturer. The insertions clarify that the on-premises license may be located at the premises of the manufacturer facility or at the premises of the wine or beverage manufacturer retail outlet. The bill was approved on July 12, 2024, and will take effect on September 10, 2024.
