The Honorable Mike Thompson, Chairperson
Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 144-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Senator Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 511 by Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 511 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
Under current law, microbreweries are only authorized to sell their beer and hard cider to
distributors. The bill would allow microbrewery licensees to sell their manufactured beer and hard
cider to retailers, public venues, clubs, drinking establishments, holders of temporary permits, and
caterers. The bill would also allow for the sale of beer and hard cider in unopened containers to
consumers at special events monitored and regulated by the Division of Alcoholic Beverage
Control of the Department of Revenue.
The Department of Revenue indicates that the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control and
the Division of Taxation would have to update forms, publications, and handbooks; however, this
could be accomplished within existing resources.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
