Now that Senate Bill 290 and House Bill 363 have both passed and become law, I thought it timely to update the “What we can’t have in NC” chart from my report earlier this year on North Carolina’s ABC laws.

You can see that good progress has been made this year, and also that there is more left to do (including modernize and adopt a license system for liquor).
For background on the bills, see the following:
SB 290
- Relaxing Heavy Restrictions to Bring More Freedom to N.C. Distilleries (research brief on the companion bill)
- Governor signs major distillery bill in Durham (Carolina Journal story)
HB 363
- Bill Would Allow Craft Breweries More Freedom to Self-Distribute (research brief on the companion bill)
- Cooper signs bill letting craft brewers distribute more of their own beer (Carolina Journal story)
