Establishes the gallon as the standard measurement for purposes of taxation of alcoholic beverages
This bill changes the standard measurement unit for taxing alcoholic beverages from liters to gallons. It updates tax rates (e.g., setting a $2.54 per gallon tax for certain liquors instead of per liter) and revises all relevant tax law references to use "gallon" consistently. The change directly affects alcohol distributors, sellers, and producers who calculate and pay state taxes on alcoholic beverages. This policy simplifies tax administration by standardizing the unit of measurement across all tax calculations.
