That title 30 of the general statutes be amended to require any out-of-state manufacturer or shipper of beer, spirits and wine to place all shipments of such products coming into the state in a warehouse facility for not less that forty-eight hours, to allow for inspection of such products by the state, before being shipped to distributors or retailers directly, unless the distributor or retailer has the ability to segregate such shipments in its own in-state warehouse to allow for inspection by the state during such forty-eight-hour period.

Statement of Purpose: 

To permit the state to inspect shipments of beer, spirits and wine shipped into Connecticut from out of state, to allow for verification for taxation and public health purposes.
