H.B. No. 4284 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to address regulations concerning discounts on alcoholic beverages. Specifically, it modifies Section 102.04(b) by removing the prohibition against allowing a mixed beverage permittee an excessive discount. Additionally, Section 102.07(a) is revised to eliminate the restriction on allowing excessive discounts to retailers, while maintaining other existing prohibitions related to financial interests and inducements. The bill also repeals Section 102.07(c), which is not specified in the summary.

The changes aim to clarify the legal framework surrounding discounts in the alcoholic beverage industry, potentially allowing for more competitive pricing strategies among mixed beverage establishments and retailers. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
