Summary of HD 4414: Beer Alcohol Content Labeling Act

Purpose and Intent

This proposed bill, titled the "Beer Alcohol Content Labeling Act", would require all licensees that allow beer to be consumed on their premises to list the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage for each beer selection on their menus.

Key Provisions

The main provisions of HD 4414 are:

  1. All restaurants, bars, taverns, and other establishments with a liquor license that serve beer for on-premises consumption must display the ABV percentage for each beer they offer on their printed or digital menus.

  2. This requirement applies to both draft and packaged beer selections.

  3. Establishments would have 90 days from the effective date of the law to update their menus to comply.

  4. Failure to list the ABV as required could result in fines of up to $100 per occurrence for the licensee.

Affected Parties

This bill would impact all businesses in the state that hold liquor licenses and serve beer for consumption on their premises, such as:

  • Restaurants
  • Bars and taverns
  • Brewpubs
  • Hotels with bar/restaurant facilities

Consumers would also be affected, as they would have more transparent information about the alcohol content of the beer options available to them when dining or drinking out.

Timeline and Procedure

HD 4414 was introduced in the state legislature on March 27, 2025. It has already passed the House and was recently concurred by the Senate, indicating it has broad bipartisan support.

If signed into law by the governor, the Beer Alcohol Content Labeling Act would take effect 90 days after the date of passage, giving businesses time to update their menus accordingly.
