Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 4 mixed.
New local alcohol permits with big fees
Beginning July 1, 2026, restaurants in listed redevelopment areas can get new on‑premises alcohol permits outside normal quotas. Each eligible permit costs $40,000 up front and usually cannot move from its location. If operations stop for more than six months, the permit returns to the state with no refund. A drug store in Westfield and a convenience store in Sellersburg can also get special dealer permits for a combined $40,000. Local written commitments and renewal limits can apply.
Stronger tobacco retail enforcement rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, tobacco certificate applicants must agree to warrantless compliance inspections for as long as the certificate is valid. Employees who sell tobacco must keep a valid ID on them or on file and show it to officers; they have five days to cure if not shown at once. Repeated employee failures can suspend or revoke the business’s certificate: 3 violations in a year = 5 days; 4 = +5 days; 5 = +5 more; 6 or more = revocation.
More venues exempt from some alcohol rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law lists many places where certain alcohol and minor rules do not apply. Examples include civic centers, arenas, racetracks with meeting permits, some restaurants separated from bar areas, entertainment complexes, and more. This broadens where activities are allowed but keeps detailed conditions by venue type.
More flexibility for beer wholesalers
Beer wholesalers may buy beer and flavored malt beverages from inside or outside Indiana. They can store products for out‑of‑state brewers and charge storage fees. Sales and deliveries must come from inventory already on the wholesaler’s premises. Employees may buy only up to 48 pints or one keg at a time.
Alcohol servers and clerks need permits
Beginning July 1, 2026, clerks in package liquor stores and servers, security, bouncers, and managers at retailer permittees must hold the right employee permit. Working without it is a Class C infraction, rising to a Class B misdemeanor for a repeat within five years. You can avoid a ticket by showing the permit or a receipt proving you applied on the citation date.
Temporary wine permits stay limited
Temporary wine permit holders may buy from lawful suppliers any day but may sell only for drinking on the licensed premises. Wholesale and carry‑out sales remain off‑limits unless another statute specifically allows them. This keeps temporary permits narrow compared to full permits.
Tobacco certificate fees and terms
Beginning July 1, 2026, you pay $200 for each retail tobacco certificate and $100 for each wholesale certificate, per location. Retail certificates last three years; wholesale certificates last one year. Certificates are not transferable. The law also defines “wholesale” as selling or distributing tobacco or e‑cigarettes to certificate holders for resale.
Tougher fitness rules for racing licenses
Beginning July 1, 2026, the racing commission may deny or discipline a license for many listed reasons. These include crimes or pending charges tied to integrity, fraud, animal cruelty, unpaid obligations, tax warrants, interference with officials, or misrepresentations. The aim is to protect racing integrity, but it can stop a person from working in racing.
Wine delivery and in‑store display rules
Beginning July 1, 2026, wine retailers may deliver to homes when the permittee or a permitted employee makes the delivery. Keep a delivery record for one year, use labeled bags, and place items in the trunk or behind the last seat. The customer must also buy a meal at the same time. Off‑premise sales from an in‑room display are allowed, but self‑service sealed bottles are allowed only if at least 60% of yearly income comes from on‑site wine sales and there is no partition or separate register.
