Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
To-go drinks and car rules change
Starting July 7, 2025, many permit holders may sell single‑serving wine and mixed drinks for delivery or off‑site use. The drink must be sold with food, in a sealed container of 24 ounces or less, and age must be checked on delivery. On the same date, you may transport these sealed single‑serving drinks if they are unopened or secured in the trunk, a locked container, or behind the last seat. Starting October 1, 2025, an open container offense applies only if there is an open drink in the passenger area and the driver is drinking or still has alcohol in their body.
Grants to prepare big factory sites
Starting July 7, 2025, the State offers competitive grants to identify and evaluate up to seven megasites. The program helps local governments buy sites and plan, install, or upgrade water, gas, sewer, transportation, and electric systems. The goal is to get sites ready for large manufacturers and related industries.
Tougher rules for JMAC job grants
The law stops JMAC payments to any business that has an unresolved overdue state tax notice. Major employers face a grant cut of 1% for every job missing beyond a 100‑employee buffer. Other recipients lose that year’s grant if they fail to keep the project’s required jobs. All JMAC deals must set minimum pay, provide health insurance for full‑time staff, and require set investments. Missing targets can trigger partial repayment; missing the investment requirement triggers full payback and loss of future payments. Companies cannot use contract workers to push down required pay at the project.
State covers more small-town utility moves
Starting January 1, 2025, the State pays the nonbetterment cost to move water and sewer lines for qualifying owners with 20,000 or fewer people or customers. Municipalities must share costs inside the project right‑of‑way if they are larger: 25% for 20,001–49,999 people, 50% for 50,000–99,999, and 100% for 100,000 or more. Covered owners include small municipalities, nonprofit water/sewer groups, Chapter 162A systems, rural county systems, sanitary districts, local school boards, and small private utilities.
More mixed-drink sales at distilleries
Where mixed drinks are allowed, a distillery may sell mixed beverages on‑site and for off‑site use, including delivery. If a distillery uses spirits it did not produce, it must hold a mixed beverage permit. In areas without a local approval for mixed drinks, a distillery may still sell mixed beverages made only with its own spirits if it gets a mixed beverage permit. A distillery on bona fide farm property may sell mixed beverages made only with its own spirits regardless of local election results.
Shared brewery and distillery spaces allowed
Breweries may lease production space to other permit holders under alternating proprietorships. The tenant keeps title to its products, keeps production records, gets label approvals in its own name, and pays taxes. These setups cannot be used to shift production to qualify for a wholesaler permit. At distillery sites with alternating proprietorships, a host may manage sales for a co‑located distillery’s products, but each distillery must keep its own records and pay its own taxes. If the host serves another distillery’s spirits in mixed drinks, only the host needs the mixed beverage permit for those sales.
