What changed between versions
The TODS eligibility requirement for tours was changed from 'conduct scheduled public tours' to 'conduct tours upon request during times when public access is deemed appropriate by the business during non-manufacturing periods.' This gives facilities much more flexibility and removes the obligation to offer regular scheduled tours.
The website content requirement for tour information was simplified from 'information about whether a facility offers guided tours, the frequency of the tours, and the hours during which the tours are conducted' to simply 'the availability of tours,' aligning with the relaxed tour eligibility standard.
Wineries were added to the list of facility types covered by the website provisions in three separate sections (2(a), 2(b), and 2(d)), expanding the scope of the website requirement to explicitly include wineries alongside breweries, cideries, distilleries, and meaderies.
Senator Johnson was added as a co-sponsor, and the bill status was updated to reflect reporting by the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee on March 23, 2026, with amendments.
