STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27459 / H0414
This legislation is substantially similar to a bill introduced in 2019. This bill would establish a framework
for tastings at state-owned and operated liquor stores. Contract stores would not be allowed to host tastings.
The bill sets limits on servings based on the same requirements currently in place for distilleries. The bill also
defines those limits, as well as how the alcohol can be served and who serves it. The director of the Idaho State
Liquor Division would approve all tastings and be responsible for oversight.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact on the State or local governments because samplings allowed under this bill are at the
sole expense of the supplier. The supplier must provide both the staffing and the products to be used.
