LOBBYIST REPORT
Legislative Update August 2024
Preparation for the 2025 Arizona legislative session is underway
The session will begin on January 13, 2025. Although that is a long way off, evaluation of the need for a “liquor omnibus bill will begin shortly.
The liquor industry, including manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, have gathered each fall to review liquor issues of the day. This review includes a determination of whether there was an agreement amount among all groups or more specific legislative changes.
The first liquor industry meeting on this subject will be held in September, and it is yet to be seen whether there will be agreement on any liquor proposals. With that in mind, if any ALBA member has any recommended change in Arizona liquor law, we would respectfully encourage you to email me or call the ALBA office to discuss your proposal.
It should be noted that many beneficial changes made to Arizona liquor laws in recent years are the result of recommendations made by Arizona liquor retailers.
Once the process begins for discussion and a valuation of the 2025 liquor omnibus bill, we will keep you informed.
Respectfully,
Don Isaacson
