What's happening

This bill doubles the number of wine and liquor auctions allowed per year under a wine and liquor auction permit from 24 to 48.

Why it matters

  1. Expanding auction opportunities. By doubling the permitted number of wine and liquor auctions per year, the bill enables auction permit holders to hold more frequent events, which could benefit collectors, sellers, and nonprofit organizations seeking to auction donated bottles.

  2. Potential for increased state revenue. More auctions mean more permit activity and potentially more sales, which could result in higher tax collections and permit fees for the state.

  3. Market access for rare and private collections. Increasing the cap allows more opportunities for individuals and estates to sell privately held, rare, or collectible wines and liquors through legal, regulated channels.

  4. Supporting local businesses and fundraising. The change could especially help restaurants, wine shops, and charities that use auctions for promotional purposes or fundraising, allowing them to participate more often and potentially raise more money.
