Craft Distilled Spirits Direct-to-Consumer Shipping Act of 2026
To allow direct shipment of distilled spirits by craft distilleries, and for other purposes.
HB9767 aims to permit craft distilleries to ship their distilled spirits directly to consumers, bypassing the need for third-party distributors. This bill, introduced by Representative Greg Steube and co-sponsored by Representative Suhas Subramanyam, seeks to streamline the process for craft distilleries, potentially reducing costs and improving consumer access to unique products. This would mainly affect craft distilleries and consumers who purchase distilled spirits.
As of now, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It's still in the early stages of the legislative process, and further action will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
Key actions include the bill's introduction on July 16, 2026, and its referral to the House Committee on the Judiciary on the same day. The committee will likely review the bill, hold hearings, and decide whether to advance it to the full House for a vote.
