The bill H.110, introduced by Representative Boyden, seeks 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 aims to create a more equitable licensing framework for breweries across state lines.

To implement this, the bill amends Section 277 of Title 7 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated. It introduces new language that stipulates that an out-of-state consumer shipping license can only be granted to manufacturers or rectifiers who hold a license and operate in a state that allows Vermont manufacturers to ship to consumers there. Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2025.
