221	221	Background
222	222	Under current law, alcohol beverages are generally distributed to consumers
223	223	under a three-tier distribution system: the producer sells to a wholesaler, the
224	224	wholesaler sells to a retailer, and the retailer sells to a consumer. With specific
225	225	exceptions, no person may sell outside the three-tier system and no person may sell
226	226	alcohol beverages to a consumer unless the seller possesses a license or permit
227	227	authorizing the sale. Also under current law, DOR issues permits to alcohol beverage
228	228	producers that authorize specified activities, while municipalities issue retail
229	229	licenses to alcohol beverage retailers. With limited exceptions, a retail licensee may
230	230	not purchase alcohol beverages from, or possess alcohol beverages purchased from,
231	231	any person other than a wholesaler.
232	232	Under current law, Class “A” and “Class A” licenses authorize the retail sale of,
233	233	respectively, beer and intoxicating liquor in original packages for consumption off the
234	234	licensed premises. Intoxicating liquor includes wine and distilled spirits. Class “A”
235	235	and “Class A” licenses are often issued together for grocery stores or liquor stores. - 6 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
236	236	ARG:emw&wlj
237	237	SENATE BILL 332
238	238	A Class “B" license authorizes the retail sale of beer for consumption on or off the
239	239	premises. Except when issued to a winery, a “Class B" license authorizes the retail
240	240	sale of intoxicating liquor for consumption on the licensed premises and, subject to
241	241	restrictions, the retail sale of intoxicating liquor for consumption off the licensed
242	242	premises. Class “B” and “Class B” licenses are often issued together for restaurants
243	243	or taverns. A “Class C" license, which may be issued only for a restaurant, authorizes
244	244	the retail sale of wine for consumption on the premises.
245	245	Under current law, DOR issues permits to manufacturers (commonly referred

247	247	permits to beer wholesalers, intoxicating liquor wholesalers, out-of-state beer
248	248	shippers, and out-of-state intoxicating liquor shippers. Out-of-state shippers are
249	249	suppliers located outside this state that ship alcohol into this state. DOR also issues
250	250	direct wine shippers' permits to in-state and out-of-state wineries that authorize
251	251	the permittee to ship wine directly to individuals in this state. In addition, DOR
252	252	issues Class “B” and “Class B” retail permits under limited circumstances.
253	253	Division of Alcohol Beverages
254	254	The bill creates the division, attached to DOR, and transfers DOR's alcohol
255	255	beverage regulation and enforcement functions, including issuance of alcohol
256	256	beverage permits, to the division. The bill also creates within the division separate
257	257	bureaus dedicated to enforcement, legal services, and education and community
258	258	outreach. The administrator of the division may appoint special agents and other
259	259	employees necessary to carry out the permitting, audit, education, legal, and
260	260	enforcement functions of the division. The administrator and employees of the
261	261	division may not be employed by or have a financial interest in the alcohol beverage
262	262	industry and are subject to the standards of conduct and conflict of interest
263	263	prohibitions for state public officials.
264	264	Retail sales by brewers, wineries, manufacturers, and rectifiers
265	265	Under current law, a brewer's permit issued by DOR authorizes the brewer to,
266	266	among other activities, manufacture beer and, if the brewer manufactures 300,000
267	267	or fewer barrels of beer per year, self-distribute its beer directly to retailers. A
268	268	brewer's permit also authorizes the brewer to sell at retail, without a retail license,
269	269	at the brewery premises and at one off-site retail outlet 1) the brewer's own beer, for
270	270	consumption on or off the premises; 2) certain other Wisconsin-made beer, for
271	271	consumption on or off the premises, if the brewer purchases the beer from a
272	272	wholesaler or another brewer; and 3) intoxicating liquor, for consumption on the
273	273	premises, if the brewer held a retail intoxicating liquor license on June 1, 2011, and
274	274	if the brewer purchases the intoxicating liquor from a wholesaler. The brewer may
275	275	also provide free taste samples at the brewery premises and the brewer's off-site
276	276	retail outlet. A brewer may not hold a retail beer license. A brewer may not operate
277	277	a restaurant except at the brewery premises and the brewer's off-site retail outlet.
278	278	Under current law, a winery permit issued by DOR authorizes the winery to,
279	279	among other activities, manufacture wine and provide taste samples of its wine on
280	280	the winery premises. A winery may also hold one retail license—either a “Class A”
281	281	or “Class B” license—which may be issued for the winery premises or another
282	282	location, but the winery may not hold other specified retail interests. A “Class B” - 7 -2023 - 2024 Legislature
283	283	LRB-1141/2
284	284	ARG:emw&wlj
285	285	SENATE BILL 332
286	286	license issued to a winery is limited compared to other “Class B” licenses because it
287	287	authorizes the retail sale of wine for consumption on or off the premises but does not
288	288	authorize the retail sale of distilled spirits. A “Class B” license may be issued to a
289	289	winery only if the winery is capable of producing at least 5,000 gallons of wine per
290	290	year in no more than two locations. If a retail license is issued to a winery, the winery
291	291	may provide wine made by the winery directly to its own retail premises, without the
292	292	wine first passing through a wholesaler.
293	293	Under current law, a manufacturer's permit or rectifier's permit issued by DOR
294	294	authorizes the permittee to, respectively, manufacture or rectify intoxicating liquor.
295	295	Current law prohibits a manufacturer or rectifier from holding an interest in a retail
296	296	liquor license, but a manufacturer's permit or rectifier's permit authorizes the
297	297	manufacturer or rectifier to make retail sales, without a retail license, of intoxicating
298	298	liquor manufactured or rectified on the manufacturer's or rectifier's premises, for
299	299	consumption on or off the premises. Subject to limitations, a manufacturer or
300	300	rectifier may also provide free taste samples of intoxicating liquor manufactured or
301	301	rectified on the premises, for consumption on the premises.
302	302	The bill eliminates most current law provisions relating to retail sales authority
303	303	for brewers, wineries, manufacturers, and rectifiers and replaces them with
304	304	provisions creating a more uniform standard of retail sales authority for these
305	305	producers. Under the bill, a brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier (producer)
306	306	may, under its division-issued permit, make retail sales on the production premises
307	307	and establish full-service retail outlets depending on the producer's production
308	308	volume. The bill authorizes a producer to make retail sales of its own products on
309	309	the production premises, for on-premises or off-premises consumption. If the
310	310	producer meets specified production thresholds, the bill also allows the producer to
311	311	engage in full-service retail sales on the production premises and to establish from
312	312	one to three full-service retail outlets away from the production premises at which
313	313	full-service retail sales may be made. “Full-service retail sales" are sales of beer and
314	314	intoxicating liquor, for on-premises or off-premises consumption, and the provision
315	315	of taste samples. Alcohol beverages not produced by the producer must be purchased
316	316	from a wholesaler or other person authorized to distribute the alcohol beverages
317	317	under current law. To operate a full-service retail outlet, a producer must obtain
318	318	approval from the division, which the division must grant unless the producer has
319	319	violated a provision of law related to full-service retail outlets. In addition, a
320	320	producer may not commence sales of alcohol beverages at a full-service retail outlet
321	321	unless, prior to commencing such sales, the producer receives approval from the
322	322	municipality in which the retail outlet is located. Applications for a municipality's
323	323	approval must be made on a form prescribed by the division. A municipality's
324	324	approval must be based on the same standards and criteria that the municipality has
325	325	established by ordinance for the evaluation and approval of retail license
326	326	applications. A municipality may limit the scope of alcohol beverages offered for sale
327	327	at a full-service retail outlet only with respect to alcohol beverages that are not of
328	328	the same type as those produced by the producer. Retail sales on the production
329	329	premises and at full-service retail outlets must be supervised by the permit holder
330	330	or a person holding an operator's license or operator's permit (discussed further - 8 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
331	331	ARG:emw&wlj
332	332	SENATE BILL 332
333	333	below). A producer may operate a restaurant at any full-service retail outlet and on
334	334	the production premises.
335	335	Under the bill, if a brewer is not eligible to establish a full-service retail outlet,
336	336	the brewer maintains the current-law authorization to establish an off-site retail
337	337	outlet at which it may sell its own beer for on-premises or off-premises consumption.
338	338	In addition, if the brewer held a retail intoxicating liquor license on June 1, 2011, for
339	339	its brewery premises or an off-site retail outlet, the brewer may make retail sales of
340	340	intoxicating liquor for on-premises consumption at this formerly licensed location.
341	341	The bill eliminates the authorization for a winery to hold a retail license, which
342	342	authorization is replaced with the retail sales authority described above. The bill
343	343	also eliminates the prohibition against a brewer operating a restaurant in a location
344	344	other than the brewery premises and the brewer's off-site retail outlet.
345	345	Closing hours for retail sales by brewers, wineries, manufacturers, and
346	346	rectifiers
347	347	Under current law, with limited exceptions, a retailer operating under a Class
348	348	“B" or “Class B” license may not remain open between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
349	349	on weekdays or between 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and a
350	350	municipality may not impose different closing hours by ordinance. The hours during
351	351	which a Class “B” licensed retailer may make sales for off-premises consumption are
352	352	more limited, with these sales prohibited from midnight to 6 a.m., although a
353	353	municipality may, by ordinance, impose more restrictive hours for these sales.
354	354	Current law does not specify closing hours or permissible hours of sale for retail sales
355	355	by brewers, manufacturers, or rectifiers.
356	356	Under the bill, a full-service retail outlet of a producer is subject to the same
357	357	closing hours, and restrictions on the hours in which sales for off-premises
358	358	consumption may be made, that are applicable to a Class “B" licensee in the same
359	359	municipality with respect to all alcohol beverages sold at the retail outlet. These
360	360	limitations also apply to the producer's production premises, except that the
361	361	production premises are not required to be closed for nonretail activities. The bill
362	362	also specifies that no member of the public or invited guests may be present on the
363	363	production premises during the closing hours applicable to a Class “B" licensee.
364	364	Under current law, a winery operating under a “Class B" license may not
365	365	remain open for retail sales of wine between the hours of 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.
366	366	The bill eliminates this earlier closing hour for a winery.
367	367	Other authorized activities of brewers, wineries, manufacturers, and
368	368	rectifiers
369	369	Under the bill, the permit of a brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier also
370	370	authorizes the following activities:
371	371	1. The transportation by the producer of its alcohol beverages between the
372	372	production premises and any depot, warehouse, or full-service retail outlet
373	373	maintained by the producer or other premises for which the producer holds a permit.
374	374	2. The sale, shipment, transportation, and delivery, or the sale or transfer, of
375	375	the producer's alcohol beverages, in bulk or in any state of packaging, to another
376	376	producer holding a permit that allows production of the same type of alcohol
377	377	beverages. - 9 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

379	379	ARG:emw&wlj
380	380	SENATE BILL 332
381	381	Producers providing taste samples on retail premises
382	382	Current law allows Class “A” and “Class A” licensees to provide free taste
383	383	samples to customers for consumption on the licensed premises, subject to various
384	384	restrictions such as the size and number of taste samples and hours during which
385	385	they may be provided. As part of their retail sales authority, Class “B,” “Class B,” and
386	386	“Class C” licensees may also provide taste samples for consumption on the premises.
387	387	Under current law, a brewer may provide free taste samples on Class “A”
388	388	licensed premises for consumption on the premises, subject to the same limitations
389	389	applicable to the Class “A” licensee in providing taste samples, including hours and
390	390	size and number of samples. In addition, the brewer must purchase from the Class
391	391	“A” licensee the beer that the brewer provides as taste samples.
392	392	The bill creates additional authority, and modifies existing authority, for a
393	393	brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier to provide taste samples on retail licensed
394	394	premises with the consent of the retail licensee. Under the bill, a winery,
395	395	manufacturer, or rectifier may provide free taste samples of intoxicating liquor on
396	396	“Class A,” “Class B,” or “Class C” premises, not exceeding two 3-ounce samples of
397	397	wine per day per person and one 0.5-ounce sample of distilled spirits per day per
398	398	person. A brewer may provide free taste samples of beer on Class “A" or Class “B”
399	399	premises, not exceeding two 3-ounce samples of beer per day per person. A brewer,
400	400	winery, manufacturer, or rectifier may provide the taste samples to any person who
401	401	has attained the legal drinking age for consumption on the premises between the
402	402	hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The taste samples must be either 1) purchased by the
403	403	brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier from the retail licensee or 2) produced by
404	404	the brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier and brought to the retail premises.
405	405	However, a brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier may not leave at the retail
406	406	premises any unused alcohol beverages not purchased from the retail licensee.
407	407	The bill also eliminates a provision under which a municipality may prohibit
408	408	a “Class A” licensee from offering free taste samples of wine on its licensed premises.
409	409	Brewpubs
410	410	Under current law, a person is eligible for a brewpub permit issued by DOR if
411	411	the person meets certain requirements, including that 1) the person manufactures
412	412	not more than 10,000 barrels of beer per year and 2) the person operates on the
413	413	brewpub premises a restaurant for which a retail license is issued and in which the
414	414	brewpub sells, in addition to its own beer, the beer of another brewer. A brewpub
415	415	permit authorizes, among other activities, 1) the manufacture of up to 10,000 barrels
416	416	of beer per year, but the entire manufacturing process must occur on brewpub
417	417	premises; 2) the retail sale of alcohol beverages through retail licenses issued for the
418	418	brewpub's restaurant; and 3) the annual distribution of up to 1,000 barrels of the
419	419	brewpub's beer to retailers.
420	420	The bill increases, from 10,000 to 20,000 barrels per year, the amount of beer
421	421	that a brewpub may manufacture and eliminates the requirement that the entire
422	422	manufacturing process occur on brewpub premises. The bill also authorizes a
423	423	brewpub to annually distribute up to 2,000 barrels of the brewpub's beer to retailers.
424	424	Also under the bill, to meet the requirement that it sell beer other than its own in its - 10 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
425	425	ARG:emw&wlj
426	426	SENATE BILL 332
427	427	restaurant, a brewpub may sell beer manufactured by another brewpub rather than
428	428	a brewer.
429	429	The bill also authorizes a brewpub to sell, ship, transport, and deliver, in bulk
430	430	or in any state of packaging, beer manufactured by the brewpub to another brewpub.
431	431	Interest restrictions
432	432	Current law imposes restrictions on the issuance of alcohol beverage licenses
433	433	and permits and the interests that such licensees or permittees may hold in other
434	434	licensees or permittees. For example, a Class “B" license may not be issued to a
435	435	brewer or a beer wholesaler, and a beer wholesaler's permit may not be issued to a
436	436	brewer or Class “B" licensee. As another example, a manufacturer, rectifier, or
437	437	winery may not hold any direct or indirect interest in any wholesale permit or
438	438	establishment. Current law includes many similar provisions, which generally
439	439	prohibit one type of licensee or permittee from having a direct or indirect interest in
440	440	specified other types of licensees or permittees. DOR has promulgated a rule used
441	441	to implement some of these statutory interest restrictions, which include definitions
442	442	and examples of direct and indirect interests.
443	443	The bill modifies these existing interest restriction provisions. In general, the
444	444	bill expands these provisions to explicitly apply to “cross-tier” interests, such as a
445	445	beer wholesaler's interest in a winery permit or a winery's interest in a retail beer
446	446	license. The bill also standardizes language among the various interest restriction
447	447	provisions, partly by adopting the phrase “an interest in” rather than “a direct or
448	448	indirect interest in” or “a direct or indirect ownership interest in” and partly by
449	449	explicitly stating whether the interest restriction applies to retail licensees, retail
450	450	permittees, beer wholesalers, liquor wholesalers, brewers, brewpubs, wineries,
451	451	manufacturers and rectifiers, out-of-state beer shippers, and out-of-state liquor
452	452	shippers. The bill also incorporates the new interest restriction exceptions discussed
453	453	below. The bill further repeals the DOR rule that guides determinations relating to
454	454	interest restrictions.
455	455	In addition to these changes to existing interest restriction provisions, the bill
456	456	creates new provisions relating to interest restrictions and creates exceptions to
457	457	interest restrictions. The bill specifies all of the following:
458	458	1. No production permittee may hold any interest in any distribution permittee
459	459	or in any retail licensee or permittee, except as authorized under current law for a
460	460	brewpub.
461	461	2. No distribution permittee may hold any interest in any retail licensee or
462	462	permittee or any interest in any production permittee, with an exception for a beer
463	463	wholesaler holding an interest in a brewer on July 1, 2011.
464	464	3. No retail licensee or permittee may hold any interest in any distribution
465	465	permittee or in any production permittee, except as authorized under current law for
466	466	a brewpub.
467	467	For purposes of these provisions, employment in a nonmanagerial capacity for
468	468	an alcohol beverage licensee or permittee is not an interest in that licensee or
469	469	permittee.
470	470	The bill defines a “production permittee” as a person holding a permit issued
471	471	to a brewer, brewpub, manufacturer, rectifier, or winery; a brewer in another state - 11 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

475	475	that holds an out-of-state beer shipper's permit; a manufacturer, rectifier, or winery
476	476	in another state that holds an out-of-state liquor shipper's permit; or a restricted
477	477	individual of any such person. A “restricted individual” is an individual who 1) is
478	478	identified on a manager's license or who works or acts in a managerial capacity for
479	479	an alcohol beverage permittee or licensee; 2) serves as an officer, director, member,
480	480	manager, or agent of a corporation or limited liability company that holds an alcohol
481	481	beverage permit or license; or 3) holds more than a 10 percent ownership interest in
482	482	an alcohol beverage permittee or licensee. The bill defines a “distribution permittee"
483	483	as a person holding a beer or liquor wholesaler's permit or a restricted individual of
484	484	such a person. The bill defines a “retail licensee or permittee" as a person holding
485	485	a Class “A," Class “B,” “Class A," “Class B," or “Class C" license, a Class “B" or “Class
486	486	B" permit, or a no-sale event venue permit (discussed further below), or a restricted
487	487	individual of any such person. The bill also defines a “restricted entity" as an entity
488	488	holding more than a 10 percent ownership interest in an alcohol beverage permittee
489	489	or licensee. The bill defines a “restricted investor" as a restricted individual or
490	490	restricted entity.
491	491	The bill also specifies the following three situations, applicable to both new and
492	492	existing interest restriction provisions under the bill, in which interests are
493	493	explicitly authorized:
494	494	1. An alcohol beverage licensee or permittee may be owned in part by, or grant
495	495	an ownership interest to, a restricted investor in a different tier if specified
496	496	requirements are satisfied, including that no restricted investor holds more than a
497	497	10 percent ownership interest or is involved in day-to-day operations and the
498	498	aggregate amount of ownership held by all restricted investors does not exceed 49
499	499	percent. Each restricted investor must execute an affidavit swearing to a lack of
500	500	involvement in the day-to-day operations of the licensee or permittee. A restricted
501	501	investor who materially violates a representation in the affidavit may be required
502	502	to forfeit not more than $1,000.
503	503	2. An alcohol beverage licensee or permittee, or a restricted individual of a
504	504	licensee or permittee, may enter into a landlordtenant relationship with another
505	505	licensee or permittee operating in a different tier if specified requirements are
506	506	satisfied, including that the landlord has no control over or day-to-day involvement
507	507	in the business of the tenant.
508	508	3. A spouse may have an interest in the alcohol beverage license or permit of
509	509	the other spouse if specified requirements are satisfied, including that the marriage
510	510	is governed by a marital property agreement or prenuptial agreement and both
511	511	spouses execute an affidavit swearing to a lack of involvement in the day-to-day
512	512	operations of each respective business. A spouse who materially violates a
513	513	representation in the affidavit may be required to forfeit not more than $1,000.
514	514	As discussed above, the bill also eliminates the authority of a winery to hold a
515	515	retail license and provisions allowing this common interest.
516	516	Tied house restrictions
517	517	Current law prohibits a brewer, brewpub, or beer wholesaler from furnishing
518	518	anything of value to a Class “B” licensee, but there are numerous exceptions to this
519	519	prohibition. - 12 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
520	520	ARG:emw&wlj
521	521	SENATE BILL 332
522	522	The bill creates an exception under which a brewer, brewpub, or beer
523	523	wholesaler may enter into a landlordtenant relationship with a Class “B” licensee
524	524	if the same requirements are satisfied that are referenced in item 2, above, relating
525	525	to interest restrictions and landlord-tenant relationships.
526	526	Production agreements
527	527	The bill specifies authority for a brewer, brewpub, winery, manufacturer, or
528	528	rectifier (producer) to produce alcohol beverages by means of contract production,
529	529	alternating proprietorship, or licensing agreement and further specifies certain
530	530	requirements for and consequences of such an arrangement. These arrangements
531	531	must be established by written agreement, which generally may be entered into only
532	532	by producers holding the same type of producer's permit.
533	533	The bill defines “contract production" as a contract, agreement, or business
534	534	arrangement whereby a recipe producer or out-of-state recipe supplier provides
535	535	consideration to a contract producer for the production, bottling, or labeling of
536	536	alcohol beverages. In a contract production arrangement, the “contract producer”
537	537	manufactures, bottles, or labels the alcohol beverages, which are purchased from the
538	538	contract producer by the “recipe producer” or “out-of-state recipe supplier.” A recipe
539	539	producer, with an exception, holds the same type of Wisconsin permit as the contract
540	540	producer, while an out-of-state recipe supplier is a person located in another state
541	541	that produces alcohol beverages in that state.
542	542	The bill specifies that alcohol beverages produced under a contract production
543	543	arrangement between a contract producer and recipe producer count toward the
544	544	production volume of the recipe producer, except they may not be considered for
545	545	purposes of determining a producer's retail sales authority (discussed above). The
546	546	recipe producer is considered the producer for purposes of taxation and reporting to
547	547	the division.
548	548	The bill defines an “alternating proprietorship" as an arrangement in which a
549	549	host producer provides use of space and equipment, and may additionally provide
550	550	personnel, to a guest producer for the production of alcohol beverages. In this
551	551	arrangement, a “host producer” provides its production facility to a “guest producer”
552	552	for the guest producer to use to produce the guest producer's alcohol beverages. The
553	553	bill specifies that alcohol beverages produced under an alternating proprietorship
554	554	count toward the production volume of the guest producer, and the guest producer
555	555	is considered the producer for purposes of taxation and reporting to the division.
556	556	The bill defines a “licensing agreement" as an agreement between a licensor
557	557	and a producer for the production of alcohol beverages containing the name, symbol,

560	560	name if the producer-licensee is entirely responsible for producing the alcohol
561	561	beverages and for all related processing steps and regulatory requirements.
562	562	The bill also specifies that a producer entering into a contract production
563	563	arrangement, alternating proprietorship arrangement, or licensing agreement does
564	564	not act as an agent for or in the employ of another with respect to certain provisions
565	565	of current law. - 13 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

568	568	SENATE BILL 332
569	569	Common carrier shipments
570	570	The bill prohibits a common carrier from transporting or delivering alcohol
571	571	beverages into or within this state, other than to an alcohol beverage licensee or
572	572	permittee, unless the common carrier first obtains a permit from the division. This
573	573	permit authorizes a common carrier only to transport or deliver into or within this
574	574	state wine on behalf of a person holding a Wisconsin direct wine shipper's permit,
575	575	which generally may be an in-state or out-of-state winery, or on behalf of a person
576	576	holding a fulfillment house permit (discussed below). A common carrier must pay
577	577	an annual permit fee of $1,000. A common carrier that fails to obtain a permit prior
578	578	to commencing delivery of alcohol beverages in this state is subject to a fine of not
579	579	more than $10,000. A common carrier that ships alcohol beverages other than wine
580	580	obtained from a direct wine shipper permittee or fulfillment house permittee is
581	581	subject to a forfeiture of not more than $2,000, and the division must revoke the
582	582	common carrier's permit if the common carrier violates this prohibition in more than
583	583	one month during a calendar year.
584	584	The bill also requires a common carrier that holds a common carrier permit to
585	585	submit a monthly report to the division that includes all of the following information
586	586	for each shipment of alcohol beverages during the preceding month: 1) the name and
587	587	address of the manufacturer of the alcohol beverages; 2) the name and address of the
588	588	consignor of the shipment, if different from the manufacturer; 3) the name and
589	589	address of the consignee of the shipment; 4) the date of the shipment; 5) the type and
590	590	quantity of alcohol beverages shipped to the consignee, as reported to the common
591	591	carrier; and 6) the parcel tracking number for the shipment. The division must keep
592	592	confidential the name and address of the consignee and the parcel tracking number,
593	593	but other information in the reports is not confidential and is subject to the public
594	594	records law. A common carrier required to submit reports under the bill must
595	595	maintain for three years all records related to the reports. A common carrier that
596	596	fails to submit a required report is subject to a forfeiture of not more than $2,000.
597	597	Fulfillment houses and direct wine shipping
598	598	Under current law, DOR may issue a direct wine shipper's permit to any person
599	599	that manufactures and bottles wine on premises covered by a winery permit,
600	600	manufacturer's permit, or rectifier's permit issued by DOR; a winery license issued
601	601	by another state; or a federal winery permit. A direct wine shipper's permit issued
602	602	by DOR authorizes the permittee to ship wine directly to an individual in this state
603	603	who is of the legal drinking age, who acknowledges receipt of the wine shipped, and
604	604	who is not intoxicated at the time of delivery.
605	605	Current law, with limited exceptions, prohibits a person from shipping alcohol
606	606	beverages into this state unless the person holds an out-of-state shipper's permit
607	607	issued by DOR and the alcohol beverages are shipped to an in-state wholesaler.
608	608	However, one exception allows an out-of-state winery to ship wine directly to a
609	609	consumer in this state if the winery holds a direct wine shipper's permit.
610	610	The bill requires a person operating a fulfillment house to obtain from the
611	611	division a fulfillment house permit for each location that is involved in the process
612	612	of shipping wine to Wisconsin residents. A “fulfillment house" is defined as any
613	613	entity, whether located in this state or elsewhere, that handles logistics, including - 14 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2

615	615	SENATE BILL 332
616	616	warehousing, packaging, order fulfillment, or shipping services, on behalf of a direct
617	617	wine shipper permittee for wine that is eligible to be shipped to individuals in this
618	618	state. A person holding a fulfillment house permit may provide services only for the
619	619	warehousing, packaging, order fulfillment, and shipment of alcohol beverages
620	620	produced by and belonging to a direct wine shipper permittee.
621	621	Under the bill, a fulfillment house permittee must ensure that all containers
622	622	of wine shipped directly to an individual in this state are labeled with all of the
623	623	following information: 1) the words “CONTAINS ALCOHOL: SIGNA TURE OF
624	624	PERSON AGE 21 OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVER Y"; 2) the name, address,
625	625	and permit number of the fulfillment house permittee; and 3) the name, address, and
626	626	permit number of the direct wine shipper permittee on whose behalf the wine is
627	627	shipped.
628	628	The bill prohibits a fulfillment house permittee from shipping into this state
629	629	wine from any person not holding a direct wine shipper's permit. A fulfillment house
630	630	permittee may ship wine into this state only by using a common carrier that holds
631	631	a common carrier permit issued by the division. Prior to shipping wine to an
632	632	individual in this state, a fulfillment house permittee must verify the validity of the
633	633	direct wine shipper's permit and common carrier permit associated with the
634	634	direct-to-consumer shipment. A fulfillment house that fails to obtain a required
635	635	fulfillment house permit is subject to a fine of not more than $10,000. A fulfillment
636	636	house that ships alcohol beverages other than wine obtained from a direct wine
637	637	shipper permittee is subject to a forfeiture of not more than $2,000. The division
638	638	must revoke the permit of a fulfillment house that violates this prohibition in more
639	639	than one month during a calendar year.
640	640	The bill requires a fulfillment house permittee to submit a monthly report to
641	641	the division that includes all of the following information for each shipment of alcohol
642	642	beverages during the preceding month: 1) the name and address of the manufacturer
643	643	of the alcohol beverages; 2) the name and address of the consignor of the shipment,
644	644	if different from the manufacturer; 3) the name and address of the consignee of the
645	645	shipment; 4) the date of the shipment; 5) the type and quantity of alcohol beverages
646	646	shipped to the consignee; and 6) the parcel tracking number for the shipment. The
647	647	division must keep confidential the name and address of the consignee and the parcel
648	648	tracking number, but other information in the reports is not confidential and is
649	649	subject to the public records law. A fulfillment house required to submit reports
650	650	under the bill must maintain for three years all records related to the reports. A
651	651	fulfillment house that fails to submit a required report is subject to a forfeiture of not
652	652	more than $2,000.
653	653	The bill allows a direct wine shipper permittee (including a Wisconsin winery
654	654	holding such a permit) to arrange with a fulfillment house to ship wine on the direct
655	655	wine shipper permittee's behalf only if the fulfillment house holds a fulfillment house
656	656	permit. The bill also requires a direct wine shipper permittee to use a common
657	657	carrier holding a common carrier permit in shipping any container of wine directly
658	658	to an individual in this state.
659	659	The bill also creates a fulfillment house exception to the current law provision
660	660	that generally prohibits any person from shipping alcohol beverages into this state - 15 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

663	663	SENATE BILL 332
664	664	unless the person holds an out-of-state shipper's permit issued by DOR and the
665	665	alcohol beverages are shipped to an in-state wholesaler.
666	666	The bill also specifies that a direct wine shipper permittee may ship directly to
667	667	an individual in this state only wine manufactured or bottled by the permittee.
668	668	Jurisdiction over out-of-state permittees; violation of another state's law
669	669	Current law provides for the issuance of the following alcohol beverage permits
670	670	to persons located outside this state: 1) an out-of-state beer shipper's permit; 2) an
671	671	out-of-state liquor shipper's permit; and 3) a direct wine shipper's permit. Subject
672	672	to various restrictions, an out-of-state beer shipper's permit authorizes a person
673	673	located outside this state to ship beer into this state to a person holding a beer
674	674	wholesaler's permit. An out-of-state liquor shipper's permit, subject to various
675	675	restrictions, authorizes a person located outside this state to ship intoxicating liquor
676	676	into this state to a person holding a liquor wholesaler's permit, a manufacturer's or
677	677	rectifier's permit, or a winery permit. As discussed more fully above, a direct wine
678	678	shipper's permit authorizes direct-to-consumer wine shipments from in-state or
679	679	out-of-state wineries to individuals in this state.
680	680	The bill requires holders of out-of-state beer shippers' permits, out-of-state
681	681	liquor shippers' permits, and direct wine shippers' permits who are located outside
682	682	of this state to consent to jurisdiction in this state for proceedings to enforce this
683	683	state's alcohol beverage laws. These permittees must also accept service of process
684	684	for proceedings in this state to enforce this state's alcohol beverage laws. To this end,
685	685	these permittees must satisfy specified requirements relating to appointing and
686	686	maintaining in this state an agent for service of process. The bill also includes other
687	687	provisions relating to requirements imposed on these permittees.
688	688	The bill also authorizes the division to revoke or suspend an alcohol beverage
689	689	license or permit if the licensee or permittee ships alcohol beverages into another
690	690	state in violation of that state's law.
691	691	Consumption of alcohol beverages in a public place
692	692	Under current law, an owner or other person in charge of a public place may not
693	693	permit the consumption of alcohol beverages on the premises of the public place
694	694	unless the person has an appropriate retail license. Current law does not define
695	695	“public place” for purposes of this provision, but current law defines “premises” as
696	696	the area described in an alcohol beverage license or permit. There are various
697	697	exceptions to this prohibition, including for county parks, athletic fields and
698	698	stadiums, and churches, and also for municipalities and clubs.
699	699	The bill specifies that, for purposes of this prohibition, a “public place” includes
700	700	a venue, location, open space, room, or establishment that is 1) accessible and
701	701	available to the public to rent for an event or social gathering; 2) held out for rent to
702	702	the public for an event or social gathering; or 3) made available for rent to a member
703	703	of the public for an event or social gathering. However, a public place does not include
704	704	any of the following: 1) a room in a hotel, motel, or bed and breakfast that is used
705	705	for overnight accommodations; 2) vacation rental property, or other property of
706	706	temporary lodging, that is used for overnight accommodations if the property is
707	707	furnished with sufficient beds for all adult guests to sleep; 3) a campsite on a
708	708	campground; 4) a parking lot, driveway, or yard where vehicles may be parked on the - 16 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2

713	713	park district if the property is used in connection with, and on the same day as, a
714	714	professional football or baseball game, or other ticketed event open to the public, held
715	715	at the football stadium or baseball park.
716	716	The bill also allows an owner or other person in charge of a public place to
717	717	permit the consumption of alcohol beverages if the person has obtained a no-sale
718	718	event venue permit issued by the division (discussed below). The bill further clarifies
719	719	that the public place prohibition discussed above applies on all property, not just on
720	720	licensed premises.
721	721	No-sale event venue permit
722	722	The bill creates a no-sale event venue permit issued by the division to property
723	723	owners authorizing the permittee to rent or lease real property for use as an event
724	724	venue at which beer and wine are consumed on no more than six days per year and
725	725	one day per month. A permittee may not sell or otherwise provide alcohol beverages
726	726	to the renter or lessee of the event venue or a guest or attendee of the event, nor may
727	727	the permittee allow any person to possess distilled spirits on the event venue when
728	728	the event venue is being used by a renter or lessee. Subject to certain restrictions,
729	729	a no-sale event venue permit authorizes the permittee to do any of the following: 1)
730	730	allow the renter or lessee of the event venue to bring the renter's or lessee's own beer
731	731	and wine onto the event venue and serve it to guests without charge; 2) allow the
732	732	guests of the renter or lessee to bring beer and wine onto the event venue to be
733	733	consumed by the guests without charge; 3) allow the renter or lessee to obtain
734	734	temporary Class “B” and “Class B” licenses for an event held on the event venue and
735	735	sell beer and wine under the temporary licenses on the event venue; or 4) allow the
736	736	renter or lessee to contract with a licensed caterer for the caterer to provide beer and
737	737	wine to the renter or lessee and guests without charge on the event venue. If the
738	738	renter or lessee contracts with a caterer, the renter or lessee and guests may not bring
739	739	alcohol beverages onto the event venue. The renter or lessee must first purchase the
740	740	beer and wine in a face-to-face transaction on the caterer's retail licensed premises.
741	741	The caterer may then deliver and serve the alcohol beverages at the event venue, but
742	742	service must be performed by licensed bartenders.
743	743	Under the bill, the lessee or renter of an event venue may not sell any alcohol
744	744	beverages to guests or attendees of an event on the event venue, including charging
745	745	admission for an event at which alcohol beverages are served, unless the lessee or
746	746	renter has obtained a temporary retail license. The lessee or renter may not allow
747	747	any person to possess distilled spirits on the event venue. If there are 20 or more
748	748	people on the event venue, service of beer and wine must be performed by a licensed
749	749	bartender.
750	750	A no-sale event venue permit may be issued to a person who holds a retail
751	751	license but may not be issued to a person who holds a permit as a brewer, brewpub,
752	752	winery, manufacturer or rectifier, beer wholesaler, liquor wholesaler, out-of-state
753	753	beer shipper, or out-of-state liquor shipper. - 17 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

756	756	SENATE BILL 332
757	757	Quota exception for certain persons opting out of no-sale event venue permit
758	758	Current law imposes a quota on the number of “Class B" licenses that a
759	759	municipality may issue. This quota is generally determined by a formula based on
760	760	the number of licenses previously issued by the municipality and the municipality's
761	761	population. Current law also provides a limited number of quota exceptions.
762	762	The bill creates a quota exception for an event venue that the division has
763	763	certified as meeting specified criteria. Under the bill, a “qualifying event venue” is
764	764	defined as real property that is rented or leased for use as an event venue for private
765	765	events, and, under the definition, in the prior 12-month period, there must have
766	766	been at least five events held at the venue at which at least 50 invited guests attended
767	767	and the venue owner must have received at least $20,000 in revenue from renting
768	768	or leasing the venue for these events. Upon application, the division must certify an
769	769	owner of a qualifying event venue as eligible for the quota exception if 1) the venue
770	770	is and has been in operation for the 12-month period preceding the application; 2)
771	771	the venue has not been a retail licensed premises during this 12-month period; 3) the
772	772	venue owner has not applied for a no-sale event venue permit; 4) the venue owner
773	773	provides documentation that the municipality in which the venue is located has
774	774	reached its liquor license quota; 5) the venue owner provides documentation
775	775	showing, and the division confirms, that the venue meets the definition of a
776	776	qualifying event venue and has been in operation as described in item 1 above; and
777	777	6) the venue owner provides notice to the division within 60 days after the bill's
778	778	effective date that the owner is applying for a “Class B” license and is not seeking a
779	779	no-sale event venue permit. The division must act on an application for certification
780	780	within 30 days of the application. A municipality may issue for a certified venue an
781	781	above-quota “Class B” license under this quota exception only if the license
782	782	application is received by approximately six months after the bill's effective date. In
783	783	general, if a “Class B" license issued under this quota exception is revoked or not
784	784	renewed, the municipality may not reissue the license. However, the municipality
785	785	may reissue the license under certain circumstances if the event venue property or
786	786	business is sold.
787	787	“Class C” retail licenses
788	788	Under current law, a “Class C" license may be issued for a restaurant in which
789	789	the sale of alcohol beverages accounts for less than 50 percent of gross receipts and
790	790	that either does not have a barroom or has a barroom in which wine is the only
791	791	intoxicating liquor sold. A “Class C" license authorizes the retail sale of wine by the
792	792	glass or in an opened original container for consumption on the retail premises. A
793	793	“Class C” license may not be issued to a foreign corporation or a foreign limited
794	794	liability company.
795	795	The bill eliminates the limitation that a “Class C" license may be issued only
796	796	for a restaurant. The bill also removes the prohibition on issuing a “Class C" license
797	797	to a foreign corporation or foreign LLC.
798	798	Retailer purchases of beer from nonwholesaler
799	799	Under current law, with exceptions for certain sales of beer by brewers and
800	800	brewpubs, a retail licensee may not purchase alcohol beverages from, or possess
801	801	alcohol beverages purchased from, any person other than a wholesaler. If a retail - 18 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
802	802	ARG:emw&wlj
803	803	SENATE BILL 332
804	804	licensee purchases or possesses beer in violation of this prohibition, the penalty that
805	805	may be imposed is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than
806	806	nine months or both.
807	807	The bill changes this penalty. If a retail licensee purchases or possesses beer
808	808	in violation of the prohibition, the penalty that may be imposed (or must be imposed
809	809	if item 3, below, applies) is one of the following:
810	810	1. If a Class “B" licensee purchases beer from a Class “A" licensee for resale or
811	811	possesses beer purchased from a Class “A" licensee for resale, a fine of not more than
812	812	$100.
813	813	2. If item 1 does not apply and the total volume of beer purchased or possessed
814	814	in one month is 4,320 fluid ounces (15 cases) or less, a forfeiture of not more than
815	815	$100.
816	816	3. If neither item 1 nor item 2 applies, a fine of not more than $10,000 or
817	817	imprisonment for not more than nine months or both.
818	818	Cooperative wholesalers
819	819	Under current law, between October 1 and December 31, 2008, DOR was
820	820	authorized to issue liquor wholesalers' permits to small winery cooperatives
821	821	(cooperative wholesalers). DOR was limited to issuing a total of six such permits.
822	822	Only wineries certified by DOR as small wineries can be members of a cooperative
823	823	wholesaler. A “small winery” is defined as a winery that produces and bottles less
824	824	than 25,000 gallons of wine in a calendar year. The only alcohol beverage product
825	825	a cooperative wholesaler can sell and distribute is the wine of its members, and this
826	826	wine can be sold or distributed only to retailers or other wholesalers.
827	827	The bill changes the definition of a small winery so that a winery that produces
828	828	and bottles in a calendar year less than 50,000 gallons of wine, rather than 25,000
829	829	gallons, may be a member of a cooperative wholesaler.
830	830	The bill also allows manufacturers and rectifiers that produce and bottle less
831	831	than 50,000 gallons of intoxicating liquor in a calendar year to be members of a
832	832	cooperative wholesaler. The cooperative wholesaler may sell and distribute the
833	833	intoxicating liquor of its members. The bill allows for the formation of new
834	834	cooperative wholesalers for approximately six months after the bill's effective date,
835	835	but the division may not issue new wholesalers' permits that cause the total number
836	836	of wholesalers' permits issued to cooperative wholesalers to exceed six.
837	837	Eliminating the permit limit for manufacturers, rectifiers, and wholesalers
838	838	Under current law, DOR may not issue more than two manufacturers' or
839	839	rectifiers' permits to any one person, and DOR may not issue more than two liquor
840	840	wholesalers' permits to any one person.
841	841	The bill eliminates this two-permit limit for manufacturers' and rectifiers'
842	842	permits and liquor wholesalers' permits.
843	843	Transfer of beer wholesaler's permit to a different location
844	844	Current law specifies that most alcohol beverage licenses and permits may be
845	845	transferred to a different location within the same municipality, but certain permits,
846	846	including an intoxicating liquor wholesaler's permit, may be transferred to a
847	847	different location within the state. - 19 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

851	851	The bill specifies that a beer wholesaler's permit may be transferred to a
852	852	different location within the state, not just within the same municipality.
853	853	Safe ride program
854	854	Current law imposes a safe ride program surcharge of $50 upon a person
855	855	convicted of operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant, with a
856	856	detectable amount of a restricted controlled substance in one's blood, or with a
857	857	prohibited alcohol concentration. The bill increases the amount of the safe ride
858	858	program surcharge to $75.
859	859	The bill also requires a municipality to provide to a person initially issued a
860	860	Class “B,” “Class B,” or “Class C” license information regarding the safe ride
861	861	program.
862	862	Occupational taxes on alcohol beverages
863	863	Under current law, the state imposes an occupational tax on selling intoxicating
864	864	liquor in this state. An occupational tax is also imposed upon the removal for
865	865	consumption or sale of beer. However, no tax is imposed on the sale or shipment of
866	866	beer by a brewer to a bottler or of intoxicating liquor in bulk between manufacturers,
867	867	rectifiers, and wineries. A manufacturer that ships intoxicating liquor in bulk to a
868	868	rectifier for the purpose of bottling or rectifying must affix a label or statement that
869	869	the shipment is made for the purpose of bottling or rectifying.
870	870	The bill specifies that no occupational tax is imposed on the sale or shipment
871	871	of beer between brewers or on the sale or shipment of intoxicating liquor, whether
872	872	in bulk or any state of packaging, between manufacturers, rectifiers, and wineries.
873	873	The bill further specifies that a manufacturer or rectifier shipping intoxicating
874	874	liquor to another manufacturer or rectifier, whether in bulk or in any state of
875	875	packaging, must affix a label or statement that the shipment is a tax-exempt
876	876	transfer.
877	877	Definition of fermented malt beverages
878	878	Under current law, alcohol beverages that do not meet the definition of
879	879	fermented malt beverages are considered intoxicating liquor. “Fermented malt
880	880	beverages” are defined as any beverage made by the alcohol fermentation of an
881	881	infusion in potable water of barley malt and hops, with or without unmalted grains
882	882	or decorticated and degerminated grains or sugar containing 0.5 percent or more of
883	883	alcohol by volume.
884	884	The bill expands the definition of a fermented malt beverage to include any
885	885	beverage that is recognized under federal regulations as beer, except sake or similar
886	886	products.
887	887	Leaving restaurant with unfinished bottle of wine
888	888	Current law allows a restaurant holding a “Class B" or “Class C" retail license
889	889	to allow a customer to take from the licensed premises an opened, unfinished bottle
890	890	of wine if certain requirements are satisfied, including that, prior to the opened,
891	891	partially consumed bottle of wine being removed from the licensed premises, the
892	892	restaurant securely reinserts the cork into the bottle to the point where the top of the
893	893	cork is even with the top of the bottle. - 20 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
894	894	ARG:emw&wlj
895	895	SENATE BILL 332
896	896	The bill allows an opened, unfinished bottle of wine to be removed from the
897	897	restaurant if, among the other requirements, it is recapped with the original cap,
898	898	rather than recorked.
899	899	The bill also allows, subject to the same requirements applicable to a retailer,
900	900	an opened, unfinished bottle of wine to be removed from a restaurant at a full-service
901	901	retail outlet of a brewer, winery, manufacturer, or rectifier if the full-service retail
902	902	outlet is authorized to sell wine.
903	903	Permit fees
904	904	Under current law, with some exceptions, fees for alcohol beverage permits
905	905	issued by DOR are not established by statute. DOR has established fees for some,
906	906	but not all, permits issued by DOR.
907	907	The bill establishes an annual permit fee of $500 for any permit for which DOR
908	908	has not previously established a fee.
909	909	Operators' permits issued by the division
910	910	Under current law, municipalities issue operators' licenses. An operator's
911	911	license is valid in the municipality that issued it. Although a person is not required
912	912	to hold an operator's license to provide alcohol beverages on retail licensed premises,
913	913	a retail licensee may not be open for business unless the licensee, the designated
914	914	agent of a corporate licensee, or a person who possesses an operator's license or
915	915	manager's license is present and responsible for the acts of all persons providing
916	916	alcohol beverages on the premises.
917	917	The bill requires the division to issue operators' permits. An operator's permit
918	918	is subject to the same standards for issuance as an operator's license and is the
919	919	functional equivalent of an operator's license except that an operator's permit is
920	920	valid throughout Wisconsin.
921	921	Transfers of retail liquor licenses from one municipality to another
922	922	Current law imposes a quota on the number of “Class B" liquor licenses that a
923	923	municipality may issue. This quota is generally determined by a formula based on
924	924	the number of licenses previously issued by the municipality and the municipality's
925	925	population. For purposes of the quota system, a reserve “Class B" license is a “Class
926	926	B" liquor license first issued on or after December 1, 1997. Current law allows a
927	927	municipality to transfer a reserve “Class B" liquor license to another municipality
928	928	that is contiguous with, or within two miles of, the transferring municipality. The
929	929	receiving municipality may then issue the license for a premises within that
930	930	municipality. The quota of the transferring municipality is decreased, and the quota
931	931	of the receiving municipality is increased, for each license transferred. A
932	932	municipality may transfer no more than three reserve “Class B" licenses in this
933	933	manner.
934	934	The bill eliminates the restriction that a municipality may only transfer a
935	935	reserve “Class B” liquor license to a contiguous municipality or a municipality
936	936	located within two miles of the transferring municipality. Instead, the bill allows a
937	937	municipality to transfer a reserve “Class B” liquor license to another municipality
938	938	located in the same county as the transferring municipality. - 21 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

941	941	SENATE BILL 332
942	942	Retail closing hours during a national political convention
943	943	As discussed above, current law generally requires a Class “B" or “Class B”
944	944	licensed retailer to be closed between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on weekdays and
945	945	between 2:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The closing hours for a “Class
946	946	C” licensed retailer are generally the same as those for a “Class B” licensed retailer.
947	947	As discussed above, the bill establishes the same closing hours for a producer's
948	948	full-service retail outlets and prohibits retail sales of alcohol beverages during these
949	949	hours on the producer's production premises.
950	950	The bill creates a closing hour exception, during a 2024 national political
951	951	convention in Milwaukee, for Class “B,” “Class B,” and “Class C” licensed retailers,
952	952	and for producers' full-service retail outlets and production premises, located in
953	953	Kenosha, Racine, Walworth, Rock, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Jefferson, Dane,
954	954	Ozaukee, Washington, Dodge, Columbia, Sheboygan, or Fond du Lac County. Under
955	955	the bill, during the convention period, the closing hours are between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.
956	956	However, a municipality may designate a retailer or producer as ineligible or
957	957	disqualified for the extended closing hour and may, by ordinance, opt out of the
958	958	extended closing hour during the convention. The bill does not affect the hours
959	959	during which a retailer or producer may make sales for off-premises consumption.
960	960	Licensing exception for beer provided on brewery premises
961	961	Current law includes various licensing exceptions under which a person may
962	962	provide alcohol beverages to the public without obtaining a license or permit. One
963	963	exception allows the furnishing, by brewers, of beer free of charge to customers,
964	964	visitors, and employees on the brewery premises if the beer is consumed on the
965	965	brewery premises.
966	966	The bill removes from this exception the requirement that the beer be
967	967	consumed on the brewery premises.
968	968	Retail licenses for, and underage persons at, axe throwing facilities
969	969	Current law generally prohibits the issuance of a Class “B" license for any
970	970	premises where another business is conducted. Because a Class “B” license is a
971	971	prerequisite for a “Class B” license, this provision also affects “Class B” licensed
972	972	premises. There are, however, exceptions to the prohibition, including for a movie
973	973	theater, a painting studio, and a “bowling center or recreation premises.”
974	974	The bill creates an exception allowing a Class “B” license to be issued for an axe
975	975	throwing facility. The bill defines “axe throwing facility" as an establishment that
976	976	provides customers with a venue to engage in the activity of axe throwing and that
977	977	1) derives at least 51 percent of its revenue from fees associated with axe throwing
978	978	or 2) maintains at the venue at least five axe throwing lanes.
979	979	Under current law, with various exceptions, a person who is under 21 years of
980	980	age and not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian, or spouse of legal drinking
981	981	age (unaccompanied underage person) may not enter or be on any premises for which
982	982	a retail license is issued. Among the various exceptions, an unaccompanied
983	983	underage person may enter or be on a licensed premises that is a bowling center,
984	984	movie theater, painting studio, golf course, or any of the following if certain criteria
985	985	are met: billiard center, indoor golf simulator facility, indoor golf and baseball facility,
986	986	athletic field, indoor or outdoor volleyball court, or private fishing farm. - 22 -2023 - 2024 Legislature LRB-1141/2
987	987	ARG:emw&wlj
988	988	SENATE BILL 332
989	989	The bill creates an additional exception allowing an unaccompanied underage
990	990	person to enter or be on a Class “B” or “Class B” licensed premises that is an axe
991	991	throwing facility.
992	992	Preparation and storage of premixed cocktails by “Class B” retailers
993	993	Under current law, a “Class B" license authorizes the retail sale of intoxicating
994	994	liquor for consumption on the licensed premises or, if sold in a tamper-evident
995	995	container sealed by the licensee, for consumption off the licensed premises
996	996	(commonly referred to as “cocktails-to-go”). (See the Background section above for
997	997	further discussion of a “Class B” licensee's authorization and limitations.) Current
998	998	law prohibits any person from refilling an original container that had previously
999	999	been used for intoxicating liquor containing 21 percent or more of alcohol by volume
1000	1000	and from possessing a refilled original container on “Class B” licensed premises.
1001	1001	Under current law, DOR may, by rule, prescribe the standard size, form, or
1002	1002	character of any container in which intoxicating liquor is sold, but DOR may not set
1003	1003	the size of containers in which distilled spirits are sold at a capacity greater than 1.75
1004	1004	liters. DOR's rules prohibit, with exceptions, a manufacturer, rectifier, wholesaler,
1005	1005	or retailer from possessing distilled spirits in a container that is more than 1.75 liters
1006	1006	in capacity.
1007	1007	Also under current law, a person may not operate as a rectifier without holding
1008	1008	a rectifier's permit issued by DOR. A “rectifier” includes a producer engaged in
1009	1009	blending, mixing, or bottling intoxicating liquor.
1010	1010	The bill provides express authority for a “Class B” licensee to prepare, store, and
1011	1011	dispense mixed drinks prior to their retail sale for on-premises consumption or as
1012	1012	a cocktail-to-go. However, there are some limitations on this authority. Under the
1013	1013	bill, a “Class B” licensee may, on the licensed premises, prepare, store, and dispense
1014	1014	mixed drinks, prior to such a retail sale, if all of the following apply: 1) the mixed
1015	1015	drink is provided to the consumer in a glass or other container not exceeding 72
1016	1016	ounces in volume; 2) the mixed drink has not been stored for more than 48 hours; 3)
1017	1017	if the mixed drink is stored in or dispensed from a container exceeding 1.75 liters in
1018	1018	volume (bulk container), the bulk container does not exceed 5 gallons in volume and
1019	1019	is labeled in compliance with the requirements set forth below; 4) the licensee has
1020	1020	complied with the current law requirement that intoxicating liquor may be
1021	1021	purchased only from a wholesaler; 5) the licensee has complied with the current law
1022	1022	prohibition against refilling liquor bottles or possessing refilled liquor bottles and
1023	1023	has also not stored the mixed drink in or dispensed the mixed drink from a wine
1024	1024	bottle; and 6) the licensee has complied with any other applicable state or federal food
1025	1025	safety regulation and also with any federal alcohol regulation, which currently
1026	1026	imposes limitations on premixing cocktails and on activities involving distilled
1027	1027	spirits in containers exceeding one gallon. The bill creates an exception to the
1028	1028	current law limitation on a retailer's possession of distilled spirits in a container
1029	1029	exceeding 1.75 liters and specifies that a “Class B” licensee that prepares, stores, or
1030	1030	dispenses mixed drinks in compliance with the bill's requirements is not a rectifier.
1031	1031	Under the bill, the division must prescribe the form of the label to be used by
1032	1032	“Class B” licensees for bulk containers in which mixed drinks are stored or from
1033	1033	which they are dispensed. This form must require the licensee to disclose on the label - 23 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

1037	1037	that the container holds a batch of premixed drinks and the date and time the batch
1038	1038	was prepared; the “expiration date” of the batch (the date and time that is 48 hours
1039	1039	after the batch was prepared); the words “contains alcohol”; the name of the person
1040	1040	who prepared the batch; and the ingredients of the batch, unless the label contains
1041	1041	a recipe title and the recipe, with a complete ingredient list, is maintained on the
1042	1042	licensed premises and available for inspection.
1043	1043	Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

4068	4068	3. Prior to the opened, partially consumed bottle of wine being taken away from
4069	4069	the restaurant, the brewer securely reinserts the cork into the bottle to the point
4070	4070	where the top of the cork is even with the top of the bottle, or securely reattaches the

4082	4082	each applicable permit, regardless of whether the permittee would otherwise be
4083	4083	entitled to fewer full-service retail outlets when calculated under par. (b) or s. 125.52
4084	4084	(4) (b) or 125.53 (3) (b).

4086	4086	as provided in par. (a) 2. and the brewer also holds a manufacturer's or rectifier's
4087	4087	permit or winery permit or both, the brewer may make retail sales on the brewery
4088	4088	premises of intoxicating liquor produced under its manufacturer's or rectifier's
4089	4089	permit or winery permit without first purchasing the intoxicating liquor from a

4129	4129	division's failure to approve, or revocation of approval of, a full-service retail outlet
4130	4130	described in a brewer's application or permit does not affect any other full-service
4131	4131	retail outlet or the brewery premises as described in the application or permit.

4141	4141	new location within this state once per calendar year, except that one full-service
4142	4142	retail outlet of a brewer may be relocated without limitation on frequency in each

5695	5695	under this section, or more than one combination permit authorized under s. 125.55
5696	5696	(1), the retail sales authority under this subsection for manufacturing or rectifying
