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 acquire similar consumer shipping licenses. This reciprocity requirement aims to create a more equitable framework for shipping licenses between states.

The bill includes specific legal language changes, such as the insertion of a clause that mandates out-of-state manufacturers or rectifiers to hold a license and operate in a state that allows Vermont manufacturers to ship malt beverages to consumers. Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these changes to take effect. Overall, H.110 aims to enhance the regulatory landscape for malt beverage shipping while fostering reciprocal agreements between Vermont and other states.
