Maine LD2160 modifies regulations for small distilleries, prohibiting fees, reducing inspection and reporting frequency, and extending licensing.

Maine LD2160 modifies provisions affecting small distilleries by prohibiting the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations and wholesale spirits providers from charging fees to small distilleries. It also reduces the frequency of inspections and reporting requirements for these distilleries. Additionally, the bill allows small distilleries to sell beer, wine, and spirits manufactured by small breweries, wineries, or distilleries without needing a separate license for on-premises consumption. The licensing period for small distilleries is extended from one year to years.
