Amends and adds to existing law to authorize sample tastings of liquor in liquor stores, with certain requirements.

Tastings of alcohol products are allowed under current Idaho law for wineries and breweries. Special events are allowed to offer similar tastings of those same products, as are grocery stores. And liquor distilleries are allowed to offer tastings on site. The reason is simple: People like to try things before they buy them. So state law sets defined limits, locations and requirements for those tastings to occur. Thisbillwouldestablishasimilarframeworkfortastingsatstateliquorstores. Thebillsetslimitsonservings based on the same requirements currently in place for distilleries, defines those limits, as well as how the alcohol can be served and who serves it. The director of the Idaho State Liquor Division would approve and oversee all tastings. This legislation was drafted with input from the director of the Idaho State Liquor Division, Alcohol Beverage Control and the Office of the Governor.
