LB 113 was amended by AM232 on General File. AM232 modifies the original provisions of LB 113. LB 113 	was amended by AM843

Incorporates the Provisions of LB 113 with Modifications 
Under the bill, section 53-123.01(2)(a) is amended regarding the specified manufacturer’s license so that the licensee may continue to 
operate up to 8 , a change from 5	, retail locations which are in operation at the time such manufacturer’s license is issued and shall 
divest itself from retail locations in excess of 8	, a change from 5	, locations.  
The bill changes licensed premises for craft brewery and microdistillery licensees so licensed premises may include up to 8	, a change 
from 5, separate physical locations.  
The bill amends requirements for holders of microdistillery licenses so that they may directly sell for resale up to $3,500 gallons per 
calendar year of microdistilled products produced at their licensed premises directly to retail licensees located in the State of Nebraska 
which hold the appropriate retail license, under specified conditions. This is a change from 500 gallons per calendar year	.   
Incorporates the Provisions of LB 186 with Modifications 
Under the bill, regarding entertainment district licenses, the consumption of alcoholic liquor in the commons area shall only occur during 
the hours authorized for sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises under section 53	-179 and while food service is 
available in the commons area or is available for sale by at least one holder of an entertainment district license.  
The bill changes the meaning of commons area 	to mean an area: 
•Within an entertainment district designated by a local governing body;
•Shared by authorized licensees with entertainment district licenses;
•Abutting the licensed premises of such licensees;
•With reasonable safety measures in place to protect pedestrians, including signage, lighting, and reduced motor vehicle
speeds when motor vehicles will be in close proximity to pedestrians; and
•With a prohibition on the carrying of open alcoholic liquor containers and the consumption of alcoholic liquor on any open
street or highway except when necessary to cross the same at a designated crosswalk.
The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission estimates no fiscal impact. There is no basis to disagree with this estimate.
