Relating to liquor sales on credit by the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit to a wholesaler.

HB 4517 requires distillers and rectifiers with permits to provide wholesalers with a dated invoice for liquor sales. Wholesalers must pay within 30 days of receiving the invoice, or the distiller may report delinquency to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. The Commission would maintain a public list of delinquent wholesalers and block permit renewals, transfers, or new licenses for those who fail to pay on time. This bill directly affects distillers selling to wholesalers and wholesale liquor businesses that delay payments. It creates a clear payment timeline and enforcement mechanism to ensure timely payment for liquor purchases.
