Florida Beverage Legislation: 2019 Post-Session Review of Beverage Bills
Zero out of 9. All 2019 Florida beverage bills fell flat.
Nine beverage-focused bills were introduced at the start of the 2019 Florida legislative session. All nine died in committee (or didn’t even get that far). Despite the possibility of some sweeping changes, especially for Florida breweries and distilleries, the Florida Beverage Laws will remain unchanged this year.
For a recap of what might have been, and to count the casualties, see the following chart.
