Failing further consideration prior to adjournment, House Bill 343 sought to provide for the direct interstate shipping of beer. The direct beer shipment permit would have allowed two twelve-quart cases of beer to be shipped monthly to a New Mexico resident who is twenty-one years of age or older for the recipient’s personal consumption or use. The bill also provided for a competitions and tastings permit allowing for seventy-five gallons of beer to be shipped into New Mexico for individually identified events.
