12021202 3 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
12031203 4 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
12041204 5 that the exemption holder has made a material
12051205 6 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
12061206 7 or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000
12071207 8 gallons of wine, 930,000 gallons of beer, or 50,000

12141214 15 sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or

12171217 18 exemption holder as confidential and shall not release
12181218 19 such information to any person.

12221222 23 (G) Nothing in this paragraph (17) shall prohibit a

12361236 1 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
12371237 2 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
12381238 3 that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
12391239 4 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
12401240 5 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
12411241 6 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
12421242 7 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
12431243 8 for distributor or importing distributor business
12441244 9 strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford
12451245 10 and allow smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace
12461246 11 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
12471247 12 integrity of the 3-tier system.
12481248 13 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
12491249 14 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
12501250 15 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of
12511251 16 beer, may make application to the State Commission for a
12521252 17 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
12531253 18 than 232,500 gallons per year of the exemption holder's
12541254 19 beer to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
12551255 20 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
12561256 21 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, mead, or any
12571257 22 combination thereof to non-licensees at their breweries.
12581258 23 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
12591259 24 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall
12601260 25 state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of
12611261 26 beer manufactured and sold for each year since its

12731273 2 relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
12741274 3 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
12751275 4 that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and
12761276 5 revenue laws of the United States, this State, and any
12771277 6 other state where it is licensed.
12781278 7 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
12791279 8 State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to
12801280 9 action by the State Commission. The State Commission shall
12811281 10 approve the application for a self-distribution exemption
12821282 11 if the class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with
12831283 12 the State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is
12841284 13 not a member of any affiliated group that manufactures,
12851285 14 directly or indirectly, more than 930,000 gallons of beer
12861286 15 per annum, 25,000 gallons of wine per annum, or 50,000
12871287 16 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) shall not annually
12881288 17 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer,
12891289 18 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; (4)
12901290 19 shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its
12911291 20 beer to retail licensees and class 3 brewers and to
12921292 21 brewers, class 1 brewers, and class 2 brewers that,
12931293 22 pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act,
12941294 23 sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to
12951295 24 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
12961296 25 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
12971297 26 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.

13101310 3 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
13111311 4 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
13121312 5 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
13131313 6 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
13141314 7 that the exemption holder has made a material
13151315 8 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
13161316 9 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
13171317 10 manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer, 25,000 gallons of
13181318 11 wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits in any calendar year or
13191319 12 became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more than
13201320 13 930,000 gallons of beer, 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000
13211321 14 gallons of spirits.
13221322 15 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
13231323 16 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
13241324 17 consistent with this Act.
13251325 18 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
13261326 19 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
13271327 20 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
13281328 21 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
13291329 22 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
13301330 23 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
13311331 24 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then
13321332 25 the self-distribution exemption holder's distribution

13451345 2 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
13461346 3 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
13471347 4 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
13481348 5 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
13491349 6 exception for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and
13501350 7 allow such smaller manufacturers of beer access to the
13511351 8 marketplace in order to develop a customer base without
13521352 9 impairing the integrity of the 3-tier system.
13531353 10 (19)(A) A class 1 craft distiller licensee or a
13541354 11 non-resident dealer who manufactures less than 50,000
13551355 12 gallons of distilled spirits per year may make application
13561356 13 to the State Commission for a self-distribution exemption
13571357 14 to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the
13581358 15 exemption holder's spirits to retail licensees per year.

13841384 5 if the applicant: (1) is in compliance with State revenue
13851385 6 and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a member of any

14171417 2 (E) The State Commission shall adopt rules governing
14181418 3 self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Act.
14191419 4 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (19) shall prohibit a
14201420 5 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
14211421 6 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a

14231423 8 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (19) to promote
14241424 9 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
14251425 10 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
14261426 11 distribution system, it is necessary to create an
14271427 12 exception for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and
14281428 13 allow such smaller manufacturers of spirits access to the
14291429 14 marketplace in order to develop a customer base without
14301430 15 impairing the integrity of the 3-tier system.
14311431 16 (20)(A) A class 3 brewer licensee who must manufacture
14321432 17 less than 465,000 gallons of beer in the aggregate and not
14331433 18 more than 155,000 gallons at any single brewery premises
14341434 19 may make application to the State Commission for a
14351435 20 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
14361436 21 than 6,200 gallons of beer from each in-state or
14371437 22 out-of-state class 3 brewery premises, which shall not
14381438 23 exceed 18,600 gallons annually in the aggregate, that is
14391439 24 manufactured at a wholly owned class 3 brewer's in-state
14401440 25 or out-of-state licensed premises to retail licensees and

14601460 9 each year since its establishment;
14611461 10 (3) its efforts to establish distributor
14621462 11 relationships;
14631463 12 (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
14641464 13 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and
14651465 14 (5) that it will comply with the alcoholic
14661466 15 beverage and revenue laws of the United States, this
14671467 16 State, and any other state where it is licensed.
14681468 17 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
14691469 18 State Commission's website at least 45 days before action
14701470 19 by the State Commission. The State Commission shall
14711471 20 approve the application for a self-distribution exemption
14721472 21 if the class 3 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with
14731473 22 the State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is
14741474 23 not a member of any affiliated group that manufacturers,
14751475 24 directly or indirectly, more than 465,000 gallons of beer
14761476 25 per annum; (3) shall not annually manufacture for sale

14941494 7 subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer,
14951495 8 cider, or both beer and cider to non-licensees at their
14961496 9 breweries.

14991499 12 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
15001500 13 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
15011501 14 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
15021502 15 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
15031503 16 that the exemption holder has made a material
15041504 17 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
15051505 18 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
15061506 19 manufacture of 465,000 gallons of beer in any calendar
15071507 20 year or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing

15281528 5 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
15291529 6 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
15301530 7 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then
15311531 8 the self-distribution exemption holder's distribution
15321532 9 rights in the assigned territories shall cease in a
15331533 10 reasonable time not to exceed 60 days.

31843184 8 authorizing limited direct shipment of wine to meet the
31853185 9 directives of the United States Supreme Court, does not
31863186 10 intend to impair or modify the State's distribution of
31873187 11 wine through distributors or importing distributors, but
31883188 12 only to permit limited shipment of wine for personal use.
31893189 13 (5) To provide that, in the event that a court of
31903190 14 competent jurisdiction declares or finds that this
31913191 15 Section, which is enacted to conform Illinois law to the
31923192 16 United States Supreme Court decision, is invalid or
31933193 17 unconstitutional, the Illinois General Assembly at its
31943194 18 earliest general session shall conduct hearings and study
