This bill amends the General Laws in Chapter 3-6 regarding "Manufacturing and Wholesale Licenses" for alcoholic beverages. It introduces a new provision that allows holders of a manufacturers license to sell one-sixth of a barrel keg or any otherwise permitted vessel containing no more than the allowed amount of malt beverage. Additionally, it specifies that manufacturers of alcoholic beverages shall be eligible to hold a wholesalers license if they have an executed labor peace agreement with a bona fide labor organization and meet certain production limits.

The bill outlines the conditions under which manufacturers can engage in wholesale activities, including the requirement that the affiliated manufacturer produces less than five thousand (5,000) barrels of their own product annually, and that the wholesale affiliate is limited to three thousand (3,000) barrels for wholesale distribution solely of their own product. An annual certification of total barrels produced and distributed must be submitted to the department of business regulation. The annual fee for the wholesalers license will be waived for those holding a valid manufacturers license.

Furthermore, the bill details the requirements for maintaining labor peace agreements, including definitions of terms such as "bona fide labor organization" and "labor peace agreement." It mandates that all wholesale distribution licensees with a relationship to an alcoholic beverage manufacturer enter into, maintain, and abide by the terms of a labor peace agreement, and submit an annual attestation by a bona fide labor organization confirming compliance. Non-compliance with these requirements may result in suspension, revocation, or non-renewal of the license. The bill also clarifies that its provisions do not limit the applicability of federal labor laws.
