relative to repealing penalties for the sale of kegs of malt beverages without a receipt.
This bill repeals the existing penalty for selling kegs of malt beverages without a receipt, effectively removing that specific enforcement measure. It simultaneously updates the rules for junk and scrap metal dealers by clarifying that they may only purchase metal kegs if the seller is the original brewer whose name or marking is still visible on the container. The legislation defines a keg as a sealed container holding more than seven gallons and sets the changes to take effect on January 1, 2025.
