This bill amends and reenacts section 64-7-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Alcohol Beverage Control Commissioner to promulgate a legislative rule concerning distilleries, mini-distilleries, and micro-distilleries. The legislative rule in question was filed in the State Register on August 20, 2024, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 14, 2024.

The bill aims to provide a clear framework for the regulation of these types of alcohol production facilities, ensuring that the Alcohol Beverage Control Commissioner has the necessary authority to implement rules that govern their operation. This legislative action reflects an effort to modernize and streamline the regulatory process for distilleries in West Virginia.
