Arnold HB No. 345
Abstract: Provides for the definition and relative fees for a "broker".
Proposed law defines a "broker" to mean any person, other than a licensed dealer, who may
solicit, receive, or transmit orders for beverage alcohol as an agent of one or more licensed
dealers, and does not maintain an inventory of, possess a property right in, or deliver any
beverage alcohol.
Present law requires a $5 permit fee for solicitors, prohibits a solicitor from representing more
than one dealer, and further requires the dealer's name and address to appear on the solicitor's
permit.
Proposed law retains present law and extends the $5 permit fee to brokers.
(Amends R.S. 26:2 and 71(A)(4))
