SB 693 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Modifying notification of brewery or dock price of nonintoxicating beer, ale, or other malt beverage or malt cooler

SB 693 eliminates a 90-day waiting period for breweries to implement price changes for nonintoxicating beer, ale, or malt coolers sold to distributors in West Virginia. Currently, breweries must submit price schedules to the state commissioner by specific quarterly dates (January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1), with prices taking effect only after 90 days. The bill removes this 90-day delay, allowing immediate implementation of submitted prices. This change directly affects breweries and manufacturers selling nonintoxicating malt beverages to licensed West Virginia distributors. The bill modifies West Virginia Code §11-16-20 by deleting the 90-day requirement while keeping other pricing notification rules intact.
