H.110, introduced by Representative Boyden, seeks to amend the current laws regarding the issuance of out-of-state malt beverage consumer shipping licenses in Vermont. The bill stipulates that such licenses will only be granted to manufacturers or rectifiers of malt beverages that operate in states permitting Vermont brewers to ship malt beverages to consumers. This reciprocity requirement aims to create a more equitable licensing framework for breweries across state lines.

The bill includes specific legal language changes, such as the insertion of a clause that mandates out-of-state manufacturers must hold a license in a state that allows Vermont manufacturers to ship to consumers. Additionally, it establishes that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. These changes are intended to ensure that Vermont's licensing practices align with those of other states, promoting fair competition and consumer access to malt beverages.
