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 specifies 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 and potentially reduce regulatory burdens on smaller producers.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section 1333.82, effectively replacing it with the updated definitions and provisions outlined in the new language. The revisions are intended to enhance the regulatory framework governing the relationship between manufacturers and distributors of alcoholic beverages, ensuring fair practices while accommodating the needs of smaller producers in the industry.
