Wisconsin Assembly approves sweeping liquor law overhaul, affecting wedding barns and wineries.

The Wisconsin Assembly has passed a bill that would overhaul the state's liquor laws, affecting the production, distribution, and sale of alcohol. The proposal would create a new division within the state Department of Revenue to oversee and enforce the state's alcohol laws. The bill would also regulate wedding barns, which provide alcohol at special events, and create a new statewide bartender license. The measure has broad support from the state's alcohol industry, including craft breweries and national brewers. The bill now heads to the Senate for final approval.
