relating to: retailers
2source of supply of alcohol beverages.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a retailer may purchase liquor for resale only from a
manufacturer, rectifier (a liquor distiller, mixer or bottler) or wholesaler. Also, under
current law, a retailer may purchase beer for resale only from a wholesaler.
This bill removes these restrictions on a noncampus retailer's source of alcohol
beverages purchased for resale.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
