Relating to the sale of distilled spirits to ultimate consumers by the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit.

HB 708 repeals a provision in Texas law that previously prohibited distillers holding both a distiller's and rectifier's permit from selling distilled spirits directly to consumers. This change would allow those specific distillers to sell directly to customers at their facilities, removing a current restriction. The bill affects Texas distillers who hold both types of permits, enabling them to sell products directly rather than only through licensed retailers. The repeal takes effect on September 1, 2025, and is currently pending in the Licensing & Administrative Procedures committee.
