H.F. 2067 EXPLANATION 1 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 2 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 3 This bill creates temporary class “A” beer permits 4 authorizing native breweries to manufacture and store beer off 5 premises. A “native brewery” is a business which manufactures 6 beer or high alcoholic content beer and is operated by a person 7 who holds a class “A” beer permit. 8 Currently, a person holding a class “A” beer permit or 9 special class “A” beer permit is not permitted to manufacture 10 or store beer off premises. However, a person holding a class 11 “A” or special class “A” beer permit may manufacture beer off 12 premises using the space and equipment of another permitted 13 manufacturer for the purpose of manufacturing beer, provided 14 the alternating proprietorship arrangement has been approved 15 by the federal alcohol and tobacco tax and trade bureau of the 16 United States department of the treasury. 17 The bill allows a native brewery holding a class “A” beer 18 permit to apply for a temporary class “A” beer permit with the 19 department of revenue. 20 The bill permits a person holding a temporary class “A” beer 21 permit to, on a temporary basis for a period not to exceed nine 22 months, manufacture beer off premises using the person’s own 23 equipment or store beer overnight off premises. A temporary 24 permit under the bill does not authorize the sale of beer off 25 premises. 26 The fee for a temporary class “A” beer permit is $150 27 (one-half of the annual permit fee the holder paid pursuant to 28 Code section 123.134(2)). 29 The bill prohibits a refund of the fees paid for a temporary 30 permit, and the temporary permit is renewable up to two times. 31 -2- LSB 5159YH (5) 91 jm/ns 2/ 2
