Summary: SB 639 would place additional restrictions on the prices that manufacturers are allowed to charge to alcoholic beverage distributors.
Analysis: SB 639 would continue the trend of the state protecting distributors from having to compete against each other on the free market. Only distributors benefit from this agreement and this relationship forces Texans to pay higher prices than the free market would require.
