SB 1040-Relating to Beer or Malt Beverages
On Tuesday, March 21st, SB 1040, by Senator Frank Artiles (R-Miami), was heard by the Senate Committee on Regulated Industries and passed unanimously by a vote of 10 yeas to 0 nays. AIF stood in support of this bill.

Currently, vendors must purchase glassware from distributors for use in their establishments.
This bill allows for beer distributors to provide beer or malt beverage branded glassware to vendors for their use, cutting down on the vendors over all costs.

SB 1040 will now go on to the Senate Committee on Commerce and Tourism.

AIF SUPPORTS legislation that will reduce costs on Florida’s businesses by allowing distributors to provide vendors, at no cost, glassware to use in their establishments.
