- (b) The commissioner shall approve or reject any such recommendation in accordance with Liq 302 and Liq 303.04.
- (c) Except as specified in (d) below, before selecting any spirit or non-alcoholic product for limited distribution, specialty distribution, or full distribution, the commission shall subject that product to a test market of 6 months beginning at the date the product has been distributed for sale at retail, to ensure a demand for that product exists.
- (d) Consistent with RSA 176:3, I, in the event the commission anticipates that the introduction of a specific product will create an immediate, significant increase in revenue to the state, the commission shall waive the test market and set the product for full distribution immediately, subject to the product meeting all other requirements for listing.
