 1        AN ACT to  amend  the  Liquor  Control  Act  of  1934  by
 2    changing Section 6-17.1.

 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section 5.  The Liquor Control Act of 1934 is amended  by
 6    changing Section 6-17.1 as follows:

 7        (235 ILCS 5/6-17.1)
 8        Sec.  6-17.1.  Distributors;  sales  to  retailers.   The
 9    General  Assembly  hereby  finds  and  declares  that for the
10    purposes of ensuring  that  all  retail  licensees  have  the
11    opportunity  to  receive  alcoholic liquor beer, reducing the
12    amount of spoiled and overaged alcoholic liquor beer sold  to
13    customers,  and  maintaining  the distribution system and the
14    State's ability to regulate against  illegal  importation  of
15    alcoholic   liquor   beer,   it   is   necessary  to  prevent
16    discrimination among retail licensees  as  provided  in  this
17    Section.
18        A  distributor  or  importing distributor designated as a
19    distributor or importing  distributor  for  alcoholic  liquor
20    beer  within  a  designated  geographic  area  or areas under
21    Section 6-9 of this Act shall use its best  efforts  to  make
22    available  for  sale  to  retail licensees, in its designated
23    geographic area or areas, each brand of alcoholic liquor beer
24     which the distributor or the importing distributor has  been
25    authorized to distribute. Nothing in this Section prohibits a
26    distributor   or   importing  distributor  from  establishing
27    purchase requirements unless the requirements have the effect
28    of excluding a  majority  of  the  retail  licensees  in  the
29    designated  geographic  area  or  areas  from  purchasing the
30    alcoholic liquor beer.
