LB 1115 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Exempt microbreweries from certain distribution agreement requirements between beer suppliers and wholesalers

LB 1115 exempts Nebraska microbreweries (defined in §53-103.21) from certain beer distribution rules that apply to larger suppliers. It removes requirements like written agreements specifying exclusive sales territories and limits on how suppliers can negotiate with wholesalers. Existing agreements between microbreweries and wholesalers must end by October 1, 2027, unless renewed under the new exemption. This directly affects small breweries and their wholesale partners by simplifying their business arrangements under state beer distribution law.
