22 action for a violation of this Act shall be commenced by

2 6-29.1 by persons who do not hold a winery shipper's
3 license under this Act to the Illinois Attorney General
4 and to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and
5 Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
6 (17)(A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
7 of another state who has a winery shipper's license under

1 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
2 marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
3 liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
4 and any other state where it is licensed.
5 (C) The State Commission shall approve the application
6 for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is
7 in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is
8 not a member of any affiliated group that produces
9 directly or indirectly more than 25,000 gallons of wine
10 per annum, 930,000 gallons of beer per annum, or 50,000
11 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) will not annually
12 produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of wine, 930,000
13 gallons of beer, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; and (4)
14 will not annually sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine
15 to retail licensees.
16 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
17 annually certify to the State Commission its production of
18 wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
19 production and sales for the next 12 months. The State
20 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
21 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
22 that the exemption holder has made a material
23 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
24 or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000
25 gallons of wine, 930,000 gallons of beer, or 50,000
26 gallons of spirits in any calendar year, or become part of

2 wine, 930,000 gallons of beer, or 50,000 gallons of
3 spirits.
4 (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
5 Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
6 sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or
7 its agents, the State Commission shall maintain the
8 production and sales information of a self-distribution
9 exemption holder as confidential and shall not release
10 such information to any person.
11 (F) The State Commission shall issue regulations
12 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with

15 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
16 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
17 licensed Illinois distributor.
18 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
19 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
20 that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
21 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
22 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
23 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
24 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
25 for distributor or importing distributor business
26 strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford

9 than 232,500 gallons per year of the exemption holder's
10 beer to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
11 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
12 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, mead, or any

4 not a member of any affiliated group that manufactures,
5 directly or indirectly, more than 930,000 gallons of beer
6 per annum, 25,000 gallons of wine per annum, or 50,000
7 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) shall not annually
8 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer,
9 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; (4)
10 shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its
11 beer to retail licensees and class 3 brewers and to
12 brewers, class 1 brewers, and class 2 brewers that,
13 pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act,
14 sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to
15 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
16 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
17 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
18 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
19 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture
20 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
21 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
22 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a

3 became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more than
4 930,000 gallons of beer, 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000
5 gallons of spirits.
6 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
7 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
8 consistent with this Act.
9 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
10 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
11 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
12 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
13 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
14 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
15 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then
16 the self-distribution exemption holder's distribution
17 rights in the assigned territories shall cease in a
18 reasonable time not to exceed 60 days.
19 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
20 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
21 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory

11 finds that the exemption holder has made a material
12 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
13 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the

12 and declarations that selling alcoholic liquor through
13 various direct marketing means such as catalogs,

16 State's efforts to further temperance and prevent youth
17 from accessing alcoholic liquor and the expansion of youth
18 access to additional types of alcoholic liquors.
19 (3) To maintain the State's broad powers granted by

23 prohibited. If the State Commission, after an opportunity for
24 an evidentiary hearing, determines that the consignor shipped
25 alcoholic liquor into or within this State unlawfully, the

1 additional shipments by the consignor of alcoholic liquor into
2 or within this State.
3 (b-50) The State Commission may give notice to a carrier

5 provided in subsection (b-60), beginning 10 days after the
6 date of the notice, and until the carrier receives notice that
7 the administrative order is rescinded, the carrier may not
8 accept from the consignor identified in the notice, for
9 shipment into or within this State, a package known by the
10 carrier to contain wine.

12 administrative order issued under subsection (b-45). On
13 rescinding the order, the State Commission shall give notice
14 of the rescission to each carrier that received notice under
15 subsection (b-50) of the order.
16 (b-60) The State Commission may not hold a hearing under
17 subsection (a) less than 30 days after the date of the notice
18 requiring the consignor to show cause unless:
19 (1) the consignor agrees to an earlier hearing date;
20 or
21 (2) the notice describes with particularity how the
22 consignor's alleged unlawful shipment poses a serious risk
23 to public health or safety.
24 (b-65) If the notice includes a description under
25 paragraph (2) of subsection (b-60) and the State Commission
26 issues an administrative order under subsection (a):

1 (1) the order must identify the risk; and
2 (2) the State Commission's notice under subsection
3 (b-45) to a carrier must require the carrier to implement
4 the order as soon as possible.
5 (b-70) An administrative order issued under subsection (a)
6 is subject to judicial review under the Administrative Review
7 Law.
8 (b-75) This amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly
9 modifies, limits, or supersedes the Electronic Signatures in
10 Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 7001 et
11 seq., as amended, but does not modify, limit, or supersede 15
12 U.S.C. Section 7001(c), or authorize electronic delivery of
13 any of the notices described in 15 U.S.C. Section 7003(b).
14 (c) No broker within this State shall solicit consumers to
15 engage in direct wine shipments under this Section.
16 (d) It is not the intent of this Section to impair the
17 distribution of wine through distributors or importing
18 distributors, but only to permit shipments of wine for
19 personal use.
