The bill H.110, introduced by Representative Boyden, aims to establish a reciprocity requirement for out-of-state malt beverage consumer shipping licenses in Vermont. Specifically, it proposes that only manufacturers or rectifiers of malt beverages from states that permit Vermont brewers to ship malt beverages to consumers will be eligible for an out-of-state consumer shipping license. This change is intended to create a more equitable licensing framework for breweries across state lines.

The bill amends Section 277 of Title 7 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated, adding new language that stipulates the conditions under which out-of-state consumer shipping licenses can be granted. It specifies that a manufacturer or rectifier must hold a license and operate a brewery in a state that allows Vermont manufacturers to ship to consumers there. Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025.
