Alcoholic beverage control; distiller licensee; commission from sales on licensed premises; samples; hours of operation; markup. Requires the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (the Authority) to pay a licensed distiller a commission of 25 percent of the retail price of any spirits sold by the distiller at a government store on his licensed premises and prohibits the Authority from imposing a markup when reselling such spirits to the licensee. The bill allows such stores to operate on Sundays after 10:00 a.m. and allows licensed distillers to include in samples mixers consisting of other alcoholic beverages not manufactured on the licensed premises. The bill also increases the number of banquet licenses for special events a licensed distiller may purchase per year from four to eight and allows the licensee to sell samples of spirits at such special events.

Alcoholic beverage control; distiller licensee, commission from sales on licensed premises, etc.
