Alcoholic beverages-direct sales.
Wyoming's SF 140 allows federally licensed distillers to operate one additional sales location ("satellite") separate from their main manufacturing site, subject to local approval. Distillers selling alcohol not obtained through the state's Division of Alcoholic Beverages must pay the state a monthly assessment based on the profit they would have generated if they bought from the Division. The bill clarifies that local authorities can issue these permits (with possible $100 fees) and requires compliance with existing licensing rules, operating hours, and building regulations. It does not change Wyoming's rule that the Division remains the exclusive wholesale distributor of alcoholic beverages. This directly affects licensed distillers seeking to expand retail sales within the state.
