479	479	3 marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
480	480	4 liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
481	481	5 and any other state where it is licensed.
482	482	6 (C) The State Commission shall approve the application

491	491	15 will not annually sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine

497	497	21 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
498	498	22 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds

501	501	25 or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000

518	518	6 Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
519	519	7 sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or
520	520	8 its agents, the State Commission shall maintain the
521	521	9 production and sales information of a self-distribution
522	522	10 exemption holder as confidential and shall not release
523	523	11 such information to any person.
524	524	12 (F) The State Commission shall issue regulations
525	525	13 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
526	526	14 this Section and this Act.
527	527	15 (G) Nothing in this paragraph (17) shall prohibit a
528	528	16 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
529	529	17 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
530	530	18 licensed Illinois distributor.
531	531	19 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
532	532	20 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
533	533	21 that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
534	534	22 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
535	535	23 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
536	536	24 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
537	537	25 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
538	538	26 for distributor or importing distributor business

549	549	1 strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford
550	550	2 and allow smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace
551	551	3 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
552	552	4 integrity of the 3-tier system.
553	553	5 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
554	554	6 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
555	555	7 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of
556	556	8 beer, may make application to the State Commission for a
557	557	9 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
558	558	10 than 232,500 gallons per year of the exemption holder's
559	559	11 beer to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
560	560	12 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
561	561	13 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, mead, or any
562	562	14 combination thereof to non-licensees at their breweries.
563	563	15 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
564	564	16 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall
565	565	17 state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of
566	566	18 beer manufactured and sold for each year since its
567	567	19 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
568	568	20 relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
569	569	21 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
570	570	22 that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and
571	571	23 revenue laws of the United States, this State, and any
572	572	24 other state where it is licensed.
573	573	25 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the

585	585	1 action by the State Commission. The State Commission shall
586	586	2 approve the application for a self-distribution exemption
587	587	3 if the class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with
588	588	4 the State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is
589	589	5 not a member of any affiliated group that manufactures,
590	590	6 directly or indirectly, more than 930,000 gallons of beer
591	591	7 per annum, 25,000 gallons of wine per annum, or 50,000
592	592	8 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) shall not annually
593	593	9 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer,
594	594	10 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; (4)
595	595	11 shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its
596	596	12 beer to retail licensees and class 3 brewers and to
597	597	13 brewers, class 1 brewers, and class 2 brewers that,
598	598	14 pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act,
599	599	15 sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to
600	600	16 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
601	601	17 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
602	602	18 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
603	603	19 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
604	604	20 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture
605	605	21 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
606	606	22 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
