Authorizes retail licensees to purchase alcohol with a business payment
This bill allows liquor store owners to use business credit or debit cards to pay wholesalers for alcohol inventory. It defines these cards as those issued directly to the business for commercial use and excludes cards where the manufacturer or wholesaler has a financial interest. The law requires invoices to clearly show both the base price and any additional fees charged by the card issuer, ensuring the business owner bears the full cost of the transaction. Manufacturers and wholesalers are not required to accept these cards but must offer them on equal terms to all retailers if they choose to do so.
