Summary of Legislation: This bill adds a definition of "mixed beverage". It also allows the holder of a wine
wholesaler's permit to take certain actions concerning mixed beverages and flavored malt beverages.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC): The ATC would administer
and enforce the bill’s provisions allowing purchases and sales of mixed beverages by wine wholesalers. The
bill’s requirements are within the ATC’s routine administrative functions and should be able to be
implemented with no additional appropriations, assuming near customary agency staffing and resource levels.
Explanation of State Revenues: Alcoholic Beverage Tax: The bill adds a definition for mixed beverage and
allows wine wholesalers to sell mixed beverages to a liquor retailer, supplemental caterer, liquor dealer,
liquor wholesaler, or wine wholesaler permitee. Currently, only liquor wholesalers can sell mixed beverages.
To the extent the expanded distribution increases the number of mixed beverages sold, Alcoholic Beverage
Tax revenue may increase by an indeterminate amount. However, the impact is likely to be small.
Alcoholic Beverage Tax on mixed beverages as defined in the bill is $0.47 per gallon. Revenue is distributed
to the following funds: General Fund ($0.25), State Construction Fund ($0.16), Enforcement and
Administration Fund ($0.04), and Addiction Services Fund ($0.02). Of the amount distributed to the General
Fund, 50% is allocated to cities and towns based on population.
