I was under the same impression. The language of the legislation makes it sound like they are trying to prevent breweries from starting or owning their own distribution companies. It comes across more like they are trying to block breweries from self distributing rather than taking away an existing right. Admittedly it's early and I haven't had my coffee yet so maybe there's something I'm missing.

To be clear, I'm opposed to this legislation either way (the Three Tier System is a relic that hurts consumers and small businesses and needs to be done away with), but some additional clarity would be helpful.
