Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Summary: SB 653 would allow Texas distilleries, brewers, and wineries to purchase bulk orders from other in-state distilleries, brewers, and wineries for manufacturing purposes rather than having to buy in bulk from out of state as they currently have to do.

Analysis: SB 653 would represent a limiting of government and a benefit to the free market.
