H 417 Vermont House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An act relating to drink specials

This bill allows certain licensed bars and restaurants in Vermont to offer discounted alcoholic beverages during a specific two-hour window each day. It permits first-class licensees, such as full-service restaurants, to sell beer and wine at reduced prices, while third-class licensees, like bars, may discount spirits and fortified wines. The law prevents these discounted drinks from being sold below their wholesale or board-set prices to ensure fair pricing. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2023, giving businesses time to adjust their pricing strategies accordingly.
