§ 251.76. CONTINUANCE OF OPERATION AS DISTILLER AND RECTIFIER.

Official statutory text

Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, a person who has been issued a distiller's and rectifier's permit may not subsequently be denied an original or renewal distiller's and rectifier's permit for the same location on the ground that the sale of distilled spirits has been prohibited in the area by a local option election. A person holding a permit at the time of the election or issued a permit under this section may exercise all privileges granted by this code to the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit, including the manufacturing, possessing, storing, packaging, and bottling of distilled spirits and the transportation of them to areas in which their sale is legal.
