Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

New limits and options for craft distilleries

Beginning October 1, 2025, craft distilleries face set volume caps and new certificate rules. You may sell or transport in Nevada to wholesalers up to 10,000 cases a year across all sites you operate. You may make up to 40,000 cases a year for export, plus up to 40,000 more of an exclusive spirit if you hold a permissible person's certificate. On-site samples are capped at 4 fluid ounces per person per day; off-site sales from the distillery are limited to 1 case per person per month and 6 per year, and buyers cannot resell. If you had a pre-January 1, 2025 contract to make a specific formula, you can qualify for the certificate to import neutral or distilled spirits to make that exclusive product. Donations and bulk transfers are allowed under permits, with Nevada tax due only after rectifying and bottling for in-state sale.

Local food businesses can deliver alcohol

Beginning October 1, 2025, your city or county can let food businesses sell sealed alcoholic drinks to go and deliver them. Delivery can be done by the business or a delivery service working for it. When a local ordinance allows these deliveries, state delivery-license rules in the liquor law do not apply unless the ordinance says otherwise. Local conditions and limits may still apply.

Funding Nevada ignition interlock and DUI program

Beginning October 1, 2025, Nevada runs the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program with a dedicated account in the State Highway Fund. Fees and the new alcohol-sale surcharge fund the account. Money can only pay for DUI enforcement and testing, data systems, on-site device audits, treatment help, training for law enforcement, and outreach. The Department of Public Safety sets rules and may contract for services.

Up to $0.50 fee on to-go alcohol

Beginning October 1, 2025, each covered take-out or delivery alcohol sale can include a state surcharge up to $0.50. It applies only to sealed drink sales allowed by a local ordinance. The tax department keeps up to $250,000 a year to run collection. The rest goes to the Ignition Interlock and DUI Reduction Program.
