Does anyone live in a state where 1. it is not required by law that businesses clean their draft systems and 2. The distributors are legally allowed "to service and repair, at no cost, the draft beer equipment of on-premises licensees."?

My state is considering a bill that would allow number 2. What would that do for the business climate from a line cleaners perspective? I would guess that the distributors would potentially sub contract the work out to existing cleaners but on the other hand they may find it cheaper to hire a full time guy themselves and do it that way.

Any input you guys have would be appreciated. I figure with all the variations in liquor laws there has to be at least a state or two that have a law similiar to this. I would love to hear some advice and/or experiences that others may have so I can deal proactively with this. Thanks again for your help.
