Big news out #TXlege! HB 4773, the Interfacility Transfer bill, passed on the House floor on third reading today with strong bipartisan support! Thank you to author @DadePhelan & a broad coalition of House members across the state who supported this commonsense small biz bill.
This is a BIG milestone but the work isn’t done yet! Both Interfacility Transfer and the #BeersforSteers bill are now over in the Senate, where they must achieve final passage by June 2 (Sine Die) to become law.
Fantastic news to share: HB 3336 the “Beers for Steers” bill just passed the Texas House. We’re moooved by the support for this common sense bill that will support Texas craft brewers and Texas ag! Thank you to bill author @BradBuckleyDVM and for the overwhelming House support!
A fun bill to work on this session! #BeersforSteers helps support Texas Craft Brewers and our agricultural producers. @BradBuckleyDVM mooved passage. #txlege
@BradBuckleyDVM The bill helps brewers and ag producers tackle rising costs and supply chain challenges, keeping more dollars circulating in Texas communities. Good for brewers. Good for farmers. Good for Texas. Ask your State Rep to VOTE YES on HB 3336: https://t.co/rUfWZ050UV
HB 3336, the “Beers for Steers” bill, is headed to the #TXlege House floor next Tuesday, April 29! 🍻🐄
We're proud to support a bill that strengthens important ties between the Texas brewing industry and Texas ag.
🧵👇
HB 3336, authored by @BradBuckleyDVM, would create targeted excise tax relief for brewers & distillers that donate spent grain to Texas farms and ranches. A nutrient-rich byproduct of the brewing process, it makes excellent livestock feed & is used in regenerative agriculture.
Next stop: Calendars Committee, where we hope to see this pro-business bill scheduled for a vote on the House floor soon!

#TXlege is in full swing and HB 4773, the Interfacility Transfer bill, passed out of the House Licensing & Administrative Procedures Committee this week with strong support! Thank you to Chairman & bill author @DadePhelan & the LAP committee for advancing this common-sense bill.
HB 4773 would fix that, allowing brewers to transfer finished beer between commonly owned locations without having to route it through a 3rd party or “sell it back” to themselves. More local taprooms, fresher product, fewer roadblocks for small business operations & expansion.
