LB 33 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Remove nonalcoholic beer from regulation under the Nebraska Liquor Control Act

This bill removes nonalcoholic beer from the Nebraska Liquor Control Act's regulatory scope. It amends definitions to explicitly exclude nonalcoholic beer (defined as containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume) from the terms "alcoholic liquor" and "beer," meaning it will no longer require liquor licenses or be subject to liquor-specific regulations. This change directly affects nonalcoholic beer producers, retailers, and distributors who previously navigated liquor control requirements for these products. The bill harmonizes existing definitions and repeals outdated sections related to this classification.
