The bill amends section 1333.82 of the Revised Code to revise the Alcohol Franchise Law in Ohio. Key changes include a new definition of "Manufacturer," which now explicitly states that it does not include any person producing less than two hundred fifty thousand barrels of beer a year. This amendment aims to clarify the scope of manufacturers subject to the law, potentially impacting smaller breweries that produce below this threshold.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section 1333.82, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous legal framework governing alcohol franchises. The revisions are intended to modernize the law and ensure it aligns with current industry practices, thereby providing clearer guidelines for manufacturers and distributors of alcoholic beverages in the state.
