808808 3 marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the

810810 5 and any other state where it is licensed.
811811 6 (C) The State Commission shall approve the application

813813 8 in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is
814814 9 not a member of any affiliated group that produces
815815 10 directly or indirectly more than 25,000 gallons of wine

817817 12 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) will not annually
818818 13 produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of wine, 930,000
819819 14 gallons of beer, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; and (4)
820820 15 will not annually sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine
821821 16 to retail licensees.
822822 17 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
823823 18 annually certify to the State Commission its production of
824824 19 wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
825825 20 production and sales for the next 12 months. The State
826826 21 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
827827 22 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
828828 23 that the exemption holder has made a material
829829 24 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
830830 25 or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000

847847 6 Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
848848 7 sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or
849849 8 its agents, the State Commission shall maintain the
850850 9 production and sales information of a self-distribution
851851 10 exemption holder as confidential and shall not release
852852 11 such information to any person.
853853 12 (F) The State Commission shall issue regulations
854854 13 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
855855 14 this Section and this Act.
856856 15 (G) Nothing in this paragraph (17) shall prohibit a
857857 16 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
858858 17 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
859859 18 licensed Illinois distributor.
860860 19 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
861861 20 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
862862 21 that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
863863 22 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
864864 23 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
865865 24 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
866866 25 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small

880880 3 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
881881 4 integrity of the 3-tier system.
882882 5 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
883883 6 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
884884 7 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of
885885 8 beer, may make application to the State Commission for a
886886 9 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
887887 10 than 232,500 gallons per year of the exemption holder's
888888 11 beer to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
889889 12 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
890890 13 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, mead, or any
891891 14 combination thereof to non-licensees at their breweries.
892892 15 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
893893 16 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall
894894 17 state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of
895895 18 beer manufactured and sold for each year since its
896896 19 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
897897 20 relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
898898 21 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
899899 22 that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and
900900 23 revenue laws of the United States, this State, and any
901901 24 other state where it is licensed.
902902 25 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the

916916 3 if the class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with
917917 4 the State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is
918918 5 not a member of any affiliated group that manufactures,
919919 6 directly or indirectly, more than 930,000 gallons of beer
920920 7 per annum, 25,000 gallons of wine per annum, or 50,000
921921 8 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) shall not annually
922922 9 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer,
923923 10 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; (4)
924924 11 shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its
925925 12 beer to retail licensees and class 3 brewers and to
926926 13 brewers, class 1 brewers, and class 2 brewers that,
927927 14 pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act,
928928 15 sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to
929929 16 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
930930 17 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
931931 18 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
932932 19 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
933933 20 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture
934934 21 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
935935 22 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
936936 23 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
937937 24 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds

956956 7 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
957957 8 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
958958 9 consistent with this Act.
959959 10 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
960960 11 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
961961 12 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
962962 13 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
963963 14 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
964964 15 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
965965 16 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then
966966 17 the self-distribution exemption holder's distribution
967967 18 rights in the assigned territories shall cease in a
968968 19 reasonable time not to exceed 60 days.
969969 20 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
970970 21 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
971971 22 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
972972 23 distribution system, it is necessary to create an

987987 2 (19)(A) A class 1 craft distiller licensee or a
988988 3 non-resident dealer who manufactures less than 50,000
989989 4 gallons of distilled spirits per year may make application
990990 5 to the State Commission for a self-distribution exemption
991991 6 to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the
992992 7 exemption holder's spirits to retail licensees per year.
993993 8 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
994994 9 penalty of perjury, the class 1 craft distiller licensee
995995 10 or non-resident dealer shall state (1) the date it was
996996 11 established; (2) its volume of spirits manufactured and

998998 13 efforts to establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
999999 14 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
10001000 15 marketing of its spirits; and (5) that it will comply with
10011001 16 the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the United
10021002 17 States, this State, and any other state where it is
10031003 18 licensed.

10321032 11 revoke a self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it
10331033 12 finds that the exemption holder has made a material
10341034 13 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
10351035 14 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
10361036 15 manufacture of 50,000 gallons of spirits, 930,000 gallons
10371037 16 of beer, or 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or

10591059 2 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
10601060 3 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
10611061 4 exception for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and
10621062 5 allow such smaller manufacturers of spirits access to the
10631063 6 marketplace in order to develop a customer base without
10641064 7 impairing the integrity of the 3-tier system.

10701070 13 than 6,200 gallons of beer from each in-state or
10711071 14 out-of-state class 3 brewery premises, which shall not
10721072 15 exceed 18,600 gallons annually in the aggregate, that is
10731073 16 manufactured at a wholly owned class 3 brewer's in-state

10981098 5 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and
10991099 6 (5) that it will comply with the alcoholic
11001100 7 beverage and revenue laws of the United States, this

11331133 4 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
11341134 5 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
11351135 6 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
11361136 7 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
11371137 8 that the exemption holder has made a material
11381138 9 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
11391139 10 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the

11761176 11 (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
11771177 12 present a written report to the Governor and the General
11781178 13 Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public

23942394 6 winery shipper's license holder shall affirm under penalty of
23952395 7 perjury, as part of the winery shipper's license application

23972397 9 indirectly through a third-party provider registered under
23982398 10 Section 5-8, from the licensee's own production. A third-party

24082408 20 shipper of any obligation under this Act or any rule adopted
24092409 21 under this Act. A third-party provider, except for a common

27222722 11 laws of this State regulating shipment of wine directly to a
27232723 12 person in this State. A registered third-party provider shall
27242724 13 allow the State Commission to inspect and audit its records
27252725 14 and, at the State Commission's request in a record, provide
27262726 15 complete and accurate copies of its records to the State
27272727 16 Commission at a location specified by the State Commission,
27282728 17 not later than 15 days after the date of the request.
27292729 18 (f) The State Commission may inspect, during ordinary

27522752 5 enforcement of law of this State regulating shipment of wine
27532753 6 directly to a person in this State. If a registered

27552755 8 State Commission a current agent for service of process or if
27562756 9 the current agent cannot be served with reasonable diligence,

27622762 15 (2) a local or state agency in another state with
27632763 16 regulatory authority over matters relating to alcoholic
27642764 17 liquor or taxation or a law enforcement agency of another
27652765 18 state; and

27672767 20 relating to alcoholic liquor or taxation or a federal law
27682768 21 enforcement agency.

27832783 1 (a) The General Assembly declares that the following is
27842784 2 the intent of this Section:
27852785 3 (1) To authorize direct shipment of wine by an
27862786 4 out-of-state maker of wine on the same basis permitted an
27872787 5 in-state maker of wine pursuant to the authority of the
27882788 6 State under the provisions of Section 2 of the
27892789 7 Twenty-First Amendment to the United States Constitution

27912791 9 decision decided on May 16, 2005 in Granholm v. Heald.
27922792 10 (2) To reaffirm that the General Assembly's findings
27932793 11 and declarations that selling alcoholic liquor through
27942794 12 various direct marketing means such as catalogs,
27952795 13 newspapers, mailings, and the Internet directly to
27962796 14 consumers of this State poses a serious threat to the
27972797 15 State's efforts to further temperance and prevent youth
27982798 16 from accessing alcoholic liquor and the expansion of youth
27992799 17 access to additional types of alcoholic liquors.
28002800 18 (3) To maintain the State's broad powers granted by
28012801 19 Section 2 of the Twenty-First Amendment to the United
28022802 20 States Constitution to control the importation or sale of
28032803 21 alcoholic liquor and its right to structure its alcoholic
28042804 22 liquor distribution system.
28052805 23 (4) To ensure that the General Assembly, by
28062806 24 authorizing limited direct shipment of wine to meet the
28072807 25 directives of the United States Supreme Court, does not
28082808 26 intend to impair or modify the State's distribution of

28192819 1 wine through distributors or importing distributors, but
28202820 2 only to permit limited shipment of wine for personal use.
28212821 3 (5) To provide that, in the event that a court of
28222822 4 competent jurisdiction declares or finds that this
28232823 5 Section, which is enacted to conform Illinois law to the
28242824 6 United States Supreme Court decision, is invalid or
28252825 7 unconstitutional, the Illinois General Assembly at its
28262826 8 earliest general session shall conduct hearings and study
28272827 9 methods to conform to any directive or order of the court
28282828 10 consistent with the temperance and revenue collection
28292829 11 purposes of this Act.

28312831 13 that:

28362836 18 delivering alcoholic beverages in this State directly to
28372837 19 consumers.

28392839 21 shipper licensee may ship, for personal use and not for
28402840 22 resale, not more than 12 cases of wine per year to any resident
28412841 23 of this State who is 21 years of age or older.

30443044 10 (b-35) Except as provided in subsection (b-40), a report
30453045 11 filed under this Section, and information obtained from the
30463046 12 report, is confidential, exempt from disclosure under the

30483048 14 (b-40) The State Commission may disclose a report under
30493049 15 this Section or information from the report:
30503050 16 (1) as provided in subsections (f) and (g) of Section

30703070 HB2399 - 85 - LRB103 28782 RPS 55167 b
30713071 1 located in this State or another state. By appointing an agent
30723072 2 under this subsection, the carrier affirms that the agent
30733073 3 consents to accept service. Service of process on the agent

30753075 5 action or proceeding arising out of enforcement of law of this
30763076 6 State regulating shipment of wine directly to a person in this
30773077 7 State. If a carrier fails to maintain in the records of the
30783078 8 State Commission a current agent for service of process or if
30793079 9 the current agent cannot be served with reasonable diligence,
30803080 10 the State Commission is the agent for service of process.

30833083 13 this State, the State Commission may give notice to the
30843084 14 consignor requiring the consignor to show cause why shipments
30853085 15 by the consignor into or within this State should not be
30863086 16 prohibited. If the State Commission, after an opportunity for
30873087 17 an evidentiary hearing, determines that the consignor shipped
30883088 18 alcoholic liquor into or within this State unlawfully, the
30893089 19 State Commission may issue an administrative order prohibiting
30903090 20 additional shipments by the consignor of alcoholic liquor into
30913091 21 or within this State.
30923092 22 (b-50) The State Commission may give notice to a carrier
30933093 23 of the administrative order under subsection (b-45). Except as
30943094 24 provided in subsection (b-60), beginning 10 days after the

31103110 4 (b-55) For good cause, the State Commission may rescind an
31113111 5 administrative order issued under subsection (b-45). On
31123112 6 rescinding the order, the State Commission shall give notice
31133113 7 of the rescission to each carrier that received notice under
31143114 8 subsection (b-50) of the order.
31153115 9 (b-60) The State Commission may not hold a hearing under
31163116 10 subsection (a) less than 30 days after the date of the notice
31173117 11 requiring the consignor to show cause unless:
31183118 12 (1) the consignor agrees to an earlier hearing date;
31193119 13 or
31203120 14 (2) the notice describes with particularity how the
31213121 15 consignor's alleged unlawful shipment poses a serious risk
31223122 16 to public health or safety.
31233123 17 (b-65) If the notice includes a description under
31243124 18 paragraph (2) of subsection (b-60) and the State Commission
31253125 19 issues an administrative order under subsection (a):
31263126 20 (1) the order must identify the risk; and
31273127 21 (2) the State Commission's notice under subsection
31283128 22 (b-45) to a carrier must require the carrier to implement
31293129 23 the order as soon as possible.
31303130 24 (b-70) An administrative order issued under subsection (a)
31313131 25 is subject to judicial review under the Administrative Review
31323132 26 Law.
