Now under Senate consideration, House Bill 533 has been amended to provide that the replacement of allowable manufacturer/wholesaler supplied permanent point of-sale advertising materials to retailers that are damaged and non-functioning shall not apply toward the current maximum of $500. The definitions of “equipment and supplies”, “temporary point-of-sale advertising materials”, “permanent point of-sale advertising materials”, and “product display” are modified and the definition of “non-refrigeration dispensing accessories” is added, which includes beer and gas hoses, faucets, taps, and other accessories as provided in the bill. Under this bill, a wholesaler or brewer may install non-refrigeration dispensing accessories at the retail business establishment for the purposes of beer equipment to properly preserve and serve draught beer.
