Committee approves bill letting microdistillery in dry township produce wine for wholesale only
Representative Mark Perry (Dist. 66) presented HB 17 14 to permit a microdistillery located in a dry township to produce wine and sell it wholesale only, with no on-premises retail sales. Perry said the change was requested by a constituent and that local distributors and retailers supported the proposal because it would not create an on-site retail outlet.

Committee members asked no substantive questions and no witnesses opposed the bill during the hearing. Representative Perry closed and the committee adopted the bill by voice vote.

The measure will proceed from committee with a favorable recommendation.
