The Wisconsin Assembly has passed a bill to overhaul the state's liquor laws, which would streamline and update the laws governing the production, distribution, and sale of alcohol. The bill has broad bipartisan support and is expected to be signed into law by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. The proposal would create a new division within the state Department of Revenue to oversee and enforce the state's alcohol laws. The bill affects every level of the state's alcohol industry, including the three-tier system, which has been criticized for not keeping up with changes in the industry. The bill has the support of major players in the industry, including Anheuser-Busch Companies and the Tavern League of Wisconsin.
