    Presently, W.Va. Code 60-3A-17(e)does not permit a retail licensee to sell liquor at less than 110% of retailer's cost. This bill fixes the selling price at 115% of cost and allows no other price. This bill further applies to beer and wine as well as alcohlolic liquors and may require an increase in price for some retailers. The bill uses the word "beer" instead of nonintoxicating beer, which would be statutorily more clear. Further, the term "intoxicating liquor" is not defined. The terms, presently defined in W.Va. Code 60-1-5 may be preferable.
