House Concurred in Senate 'Strike‑All' Amendment to H.867 on Alcoholic Beverages and Board of Liquor and Lottery

During the May 9 floor session, the House concurred in the Senate’s proposal of amendment to H.867, an act containing miscellaneous amendments to laws governing alcoholic beverages and the Board of Liquor and Lottery.

Member from Cambridge summarized the committee report describing a Senate 'strike‑all' amendment affecting sections 1–3 (special venue serving permits), clarified that a retail establishment definition excludes Vermont agency liquor stores and cannabis establishments, and noted changes that convert a retail‑master license proposal into a report recommending legislation and fees. The committee recommended concurrence and the House concurred by voice vote.

The floor packet and an emailed proposal of amendment were made available to members as noted on the House overview webpage and at the main table.

Next steps: the House’s concurrence will be handled according to legislative procedures and any follow‑up will be coordinated by committee staff.
