UTAH HB 51 LEGALIZE IT

E

ender

Lawmakers are discussing a proposal Tuesday that would allow Utahns to have home breweries without needing to obtain a manufacturing license and pay a $10,000 bond.

The proposal would allow Utah residents to brew up to 100 gallons of beer or wine per person at home without having to obtain a license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Each household would be limited to 200 gallons a year.

House Bill 51 would limit the beverages to personal or family use, or to be judged for quality in a competition.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Christine Johnson, D-Salt Lake City. Johnson's bill passed in the House and the Senate last year but the legislative session ended before final approval was made.

The legislative session ended before the differences could be ironed out between the house and the senate.  Either the process started too late in the last session, or, somebody is posing for holy pictures knowing there is not enough support to actually pass it into law.
