510-agent, microbrewery, microdistillery, farm winery or distributor, the
511-director shall notify, by registered mail, each such franchised licensed
512-distributor in this state of the violation. Thereupon, it shall be unlawful
513-for a franchised licensed distributor in this state to purchase any
514-alcoholic liquor from the manufacturer, owner, exclusive agent, Senate Substitute HOUSE BILL No. 2124—page 9
515-microbrewery, microdistillery, farm winery or distributor. If thereafter

522-agreement hereunder, does not have a sufficient supply of alcoholic

530-licensed distributors purchasing or attempting to purchase it, in
531-accordance with a plan which that shall be subject to the approval of
532-the director.
533-(b) No retailer licensed under this act shall purchase any alcoholic

537-corporation by one of its principal officers, agreeing to sell any of the
538-brands or kinds of alcoholic liquor distributed by the distributor or
539-microbrewery and to provide service in connection therewith to any
540-licensed retailer whose licensed premises are located within the
541-geographic territory of the distributor's franchise for the alcoholic
542-liquor or the microbrewery's geographic territory, unless written
543-approval to do otherwise is obtained from the director, and to make
544-such sales to all such licensed retailers at the same current bottle, sleeve
545-and case price and without discrimination. For purposes of this
546-subsection the "same current bottle, sleeve and case price" for spirits
547-and wine means a price effective for a specified period as designated by
548-the distributor or microbrewery on or before the first day of each
549-month. If any distributor or microbrewery making the agreement
550-violates the agreement by refusing to sell or provide service to any such
551-licensed retailer in this state without written approval of the director or
552-discriminates in current prices among such licensed retailers making or
553-attempting to make purchases of alcoholic liquor from the distributor

563-(c) No club or drinking establishment licensed in this state shall
564-purchase any wine or beer from any distributor or microbrewery
565-licensed under this act unless the distributor or microbrewery files with
566-the director a written statement sworn to by the distributor or
567-microbrewery, or in case of a corporation by one of its principal
568-officers, agreeing to sell any of the brands or kinds of wine or beer
569-distributed by the distributor or microbrewery to those clubs and
570-drinking establishments to which the distributor or microbrewery is
571-authorized to sell such wine or beer and to which the distributor or
572-microbrewery desires to sell such wine or beer, unless written approval
573-to do otherwise is obtained from the director and to make such sales to
574-all such licensed clubs or drinking establishments at the same current
575-bottle and case price and without discrimination. If any distributor or
576-microbrewery making the agreement violates the agreement by refusing
577-to sell to any such licensed club or drinking establishment in this state
578-without written approval of the director or discriminates in current Senate Substitute HOUSE BILL No. 2124—page 10
579-prices among such licensed clubs or drinking establishments making or
580-attempting to make purchases of wine or beer from the distributor or
581-microbrewery, the director may revoke the license of the distributor or
582-microbrewery. If any licensed distributor or microbrewery making any
583-agreement hereunder does not have a sufficient supply of wine or beer
584-of any of the brands or kinds which that the distributor or
585-microbrewery distributes to supply the demands of all such licensed
586-clubs or drinking establishments, the distributor or microbrewery may
587-ration such wine or beer and apportion the available supply among such
588-licensed clubs or drinking establishments purchasing or attempting to
589-purchase the same, in accordance with a plan which that shall be
590-subject to the approval of the director.
591-For the purposes of this subsection, a delivery charge shall not be
592-considered a part of the price of wine or beer sold by a distributor or
593-microbrewery.
594-(d) No retailer licensed under K.S.A. 41-2701 et seq., and
595-amendments thereto, shall purchase any cereal malt beverage from any
596-distributor licensed under this act unless the distributor files with the
597-director a written statement sworn to by the distributor, or in case of a
598-corporation by one of its principal officers, agreeing to sell any of the
599-brands or kinds of cereal malt beverage distributed by the distributor to
600-those retailers to which the distributor is authorized to sell such cereal
601-malt beverage, unless written approval to do otherwise is obtained from
602-the director, and to make such sales to all such licensed retailers at the
603-same current price and without discrimination. If any distributor
604-making the agreement violates the agreement by refusing to sell to any
605-such licensed retailer in this state without written approval of the
606-director or discriminates in current prices among such licensed retailers
607-making or attempting to make purchases of cereal malt beverage from
608-the distributor, the director may revoke the license of the distributor. If

610-a sufficient supply of cereal malt beverage of any of the brands or kinds
611-which the distributor distributes to supply the demands of all such
612-licensed retailers, the distributor may ration such cereal malt beverage
613-and apportion the available supply among such licensed retailers
614-purchasing or attempting to purchase the same, in accordance with a
615-plan which shall be subject to the approval of the director.

741-in the temporary permit, by a person who has entered into an agreement
742-with the state fair board for that purpose subject to the conditions

770-(5) the applicant has had a license or permit revoked under the Senate Substitute HOUSE BILL No. 2124—page 13
771-club and drinking establishment act, or has been convicted of a
