Amendments to K.S.A. 41-308b
July 1, 2005
ABC NOTICE –Amendments to K.S.A. 41-308b made by Section 1 of 2005 Senate Bill 2501 and Clarification of Kansas Law
Dear Microbrewery Licensee,
Amendment to K.S.A. 41-308b
This amendment goes into effect on July 1, 2005. It makes two changes
to the existing law.
First, Senate Bill 2501 creates a new license type for Microbrewery Packaging and Warehousing Facilities. This license allows existing microbreweries to move products from their brewery to a separate facility for packaging and/or storage. Products sold to licensed beer wholesalers may be delivered directly from this facility to the wholesalers. For all other sales, products must first be transferred back to the microbrewery premises.
Second, the bill changes the hours that domestic beer may be sold in the original unopened containers. Consumers may purchase original unopened containers for consumption off the licensed premises on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The annual fee for a Microbrewery Packaging and Warehousing Facility license is $100. The registration fee is $50.00 for the new application and $10.00 for each license renewal.
Included with this notice is an application you may complete if you wish to apply for a Microbrewery Packaging and Warehousing Facility license.
Clarification of Kansas Law
As a reminder per K.S.A. 41-501(b)(1) the gallonage tax return and
payment is due on or before the 15th of the month following the
manufacture of all beer. The gallonage tax is imposed when the
beer is manufactured, rather than when the beer is sold.
Sincerely,
Original signed and on file
