deemed | ||||||
4 | material, and any person who knowingly misstates any material | ||||||
5 | fact under
oath in an application is guilty of a Class B | ||||||
6 | misdemeanor. Fraud,
misrepresentation, false statements, | ||||||
7 | misleading statements, evasions, or
suppression of material | ||||||
8 | facts in the securing of a registration are grounds for
| ||||||
9 | suspension or revocation of the registration. The State | ||||||

11 | Commission's website. | ||||||
12 | (b) A distributor's license shall allow (i) the wholesale | ||||||

21 | distillers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of | ||||||
22 | this Act, sell spirits, vermouth, or both spirits and vermouth | ||||||
23 | to non-licensees at their distilleries. No person licensed as a | ||||||
24 | distributor shall be granted a non-resident dealer's license. | ||||||
25 | (c) An importing distributor's license may be issued to and | ||||||
26 | held by
those only who are duly licensed distributors, upon the |
| |||||||
| |||||||

3 | any fee, immediately issue such importing distributor's

so filled shall be sealed, | ||||||
10 | labeled, stamped and otherwise made to comply
with all | ||||||
11 | provisions, rules and regulations governing manufacturers in
| ||||||
12 | the preparation and bottling of alcoholic liquors. The | ||||||
13 | importing

15 | dealers and foreign importers only. No person licensed as an | ||||||
16 | importing distributor shall be granted a non-resident dealer's | ||||||
17 | license. | ||||||
18 | (d) A retailer's license shall allow the licensee to sell | ||||||
19 | and offer
for sale at retail, only in the premises specified in | ||||||
20 | the license,

21 | for resale in any form. Except as provided in Section 6-16, | ||||||
22 | 6-29, or 6-29.1, nothing in this Act Nothing in Public Act | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | purposes of this Section, "shipping" means the movement of | ||||||
2 | alcoholic liquor from a licensed retailer to a consumer via a | ||||||
3 | common carrier. Except as provided in Section 6-16, 6-29, or | ||||||
4 | 6-29.1, nothing in this Act shall deny, limit, remove, or | ||||||
5 | restrict the ability of a holder of a retailer's license to | ||||||
6 | deliver alcoholic liquor to the purchaser for use or | ||||||
7 | consumption. The delivery shall be made only within 12 hours | ||||||
8 | from the time the alcoholic liquor leaves the licensed premises | ||||||
9 | of the retailer for delivery. For the purposes of this Section, | ||||||
10 | "delivery" means the movement of alcoholic liquor purchased | ||||||
11 | from a licensed retailer to a consumer through the following | ||||||
12 | methods: | ||||||

15 | (2) delivery by an owner, officer, director, | ||||||
16 | shareholder, or employee of the licensed retailer; or | ||||||
17 | (3) delivery by a third-party contractor, independent | ||||||
18 | contractor, or agent with whom the licensed retailer has | ||||||
19 | contracted to make deliveries of alcoholic liquors. | ||||||
20 | Under subsection (1), (2), or (3), delivery shall not | ||||||
21 | include the use of common carriers. | ||||||
22 | Any retail license issued to a manufacturer shall only
| ||||||
23 | permit the manufacturer to sell beer at retail on the premises | ||||||
24 | actually
occupied by the manufacturer. For the purpose of | ||||||
25 | further describing the type of business conducted at a retail | ||||||
26 | licensed premises, a retailer's licensee may be designated by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the State Commission as (i) an on premise consumption retailer, | ||||||
2 | (ii) an off premise sale retailer, or (iii) a combined on | ||||||
3 | premise consumption and off premise sale retailer.
| ||||||
4 | Except for a municipality with a population of more than | ||||||
5 | 1,000,000 inhabitants, a home rule unit may not regulate the | ||||||
6 | delivery of alcoholic liquor inconsistent with this | ||||||
7 | subsection. This paragraph is a limitation under subsection (i) | ||||||
8 | of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the | ||||||
9 | concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions | ||||||
10 | exercised by the State. | ||||||
11 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection | ||||||
12 | (d), a retail
licensee may sell alcoholic liquors to a special | ||||||
13 | event retailer licensee for
resale to the extent permitted | ||||||
14 | under subsection (e). | ||||||
15 | (e) A special event retailer's license (not-for-profit) | ||||||
16 | shall permit the
licensee to purchase alcoholic liquors from an | ||||||
17 | Illinois licensed distributor
(unless the licensee purchases | ||||||
18 | less than $500 of alcoholic liquors for the
special event, in | ||||||
19 | which case the licensee may purchase the alcoholic liquors
from | ||||||
20 | a licensed retailer) and shall allow the licensee to sell and | ||||||
21 | offer for
sale, at retail, alcoholic liquors for use or | ||||||
22 | consumption, but not for resale
in any form and only at the | ||||||
23 | location and on the specific dates designated for
the special | ||||||
24 | event in the license. An applicant for a special event retailer
| ||||||
25 | license must

| ||||||

16 | satisfactory to the
State Commission that the applicant has | ||||||
17 | obtained local authority

18 | Nothing in this Act prohibits an Illinois licensed | ||||||
19 | distributor from offering credit or a refund for unused, | ||||||
20 | salable alcoholic liquors to a holder of a special event | ||||||
21 | retailer's license or the special event retailer's licensee | ||||||

State and to store such alcoholic liquors |
| |||||||

purchases of alcoholic liquors | ||||||
2 | directly from manufacturers, foreign

2 | owned and operated by the same licensee may combine each | ||||||
3 | location's production limit of 155,000 gallons of beer per year | ||||||
4 | and allocate the aggregate total between the wholly owned, | ||||||
5 | operated, and licensed locations. | ||||||
6 | A brew pub licensee shall not under any circumstance sell | ||||||
7 | or offer for sale beer manufactured by the brew pub licensee to | ||||||
8 | retail licensees. | ||||||
9 | A person who holds a class 2 brewer license may | ||||||
10 | simultaneously hold a brew pub license if the class 2 brewer | ||||||
11 | (i) does not, under any circumstance, sell or offer for sale | ||||||
12 | beer manufactured by the class 2 brewer to retail licensees; | ||||||
13 | (ii) does not hold more than 3 brew pub licenses in this State; | ||||||

17 | directly or indirectly, a manufacturer that produces more than | ||||||
18 | 3,720,000 gallons of beer per year or any other alcoholic | ||||||

20 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, a licensed | ||||||
21 | brewer, class 2 brewer, or non-resident dealer who before July | ||||||
22 | 1, 2015 manufactured less than 3,720,000 gallons of beer per | ||||||

24 | (i) continue to qualify for and hold that brew pub license for | ||||||
25 | the licensed premises and (ii) manufacture more than 3,720,000 | ||||||
26 | gallons of beer per year and continue to qualify for and hold |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that brew pub license if that brewer, class 2 brewer, or | ||||||
2 | non-resident dealer does not simultaneously hold a class 1 | ||||||
3 | brewer license and is not a member of or affiliated with, | ||||||
4 | directly or indirectly, a manufacturer that produces more than | ||||||
5 | 3,720,000 gallons of beer per year or that produces any other | ||||||
6 | alcoholic liquor. | ||||||
7 | (o) A caterer retailer license shall allow the holder
to | ||||||
8 | serve alcoholic liquors as an incidental part of a food service | ||||||
9 | that serves
prepared meals which excludes the serving of snacks | ||||||
10 | as
the primary meal, either on or off-site whether licensed or | ||||||
11 | unlicensed. A caterer retailer license shall allow the holder, | ||||||
12 | a distributor, or an importing distributor to transfer any | ||||||
13 | inventory to and from the holder's retail premises and shall | ||||||
14 | allow the holder to purchase alcoholic liquor from a | ||||||
15 | distributor or importing distributor to be delivered directly | ||||||
16 | to an off-site event. | ||||||
17 | Nothing in this Act prohibits a distributor or importing | ||||||
18 | distributor from offering credit or a refund for unused, | ||||||
19 | salable beer to a holder of a caterer retailer license or a | ||||||
20 | caterer retailer licensee from accepting a credit or refund for | ||||||
21 | unused, salable beer, in the event an act of God is the sole | ||||||
22 | reason an off-site event is cancelled and if: (i) the holder of | ||||||
23 | a caterer retailer license has not transferred alcoholic liquor | ||||||
24 | from its caterer retailer premises to an off-site location; | ||||||
25 | (ii) the distributor or importing distributor offers the credit | ||||||
26 | or refund for the unused, salable beer that it delivered to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | off-site premises and not for any unused, salable beer that the | ||||||
2 | distributor or importing distributor delivered to the caterer | ||||||
3 | retailer's premises; and (iii) the unused, salable beer would | ||||||
4 | likely spoil if transferred to the caterer retailer's premises. | ||||||
5 | A caterer retailer license shall allow the holder to transfer | ||||||
6 | any inventory from any off-site location to its caterer | ||||||
7 | retailer premises at the conclusion of an off-site event or | ||||||
8 | engage a distributor or importing distributor to transfer any | ||||||
9 | inventory from any off-site location to its caterer retailer | ||||||
10 | premises at the conclusion of an off-site event, provided that | ||||||
11 | the distributor or importing distributor issues bona fide | ||||||
12 | charges to the caterer retailer licensee for fuel, labor, and | ||||||
13 | delivery and the distributor or importing distributor collects | ||||||
14 | payment from the caterer retailer licensee prior to the | ||||||
15 | distributor or importing distributor transferring inventory to | ||||||
16 | the caterer retailer premises. | ||||||
17 | For purposes of this subsection (o), an "act of God" means | ||||||
18 | an unforeseeable event, such as a rain or snow storm, hail, a | ||||||
19 | flood, or a similar event, that is the sole cause of the | ||||||
20 | cancellation of an off-site, outdoor event. | ||||||
21 | (p) An auction liquor license shall allow the licensee to | ||||||
22 | sell and offer
for sale at auction wine and spirits for use or | ||||||
23 | consumption, or for resale by
an Illinois liquor licensee in | ||||||
24 | accordance with provisions of this Act. An
auction liquor | ||||||
25 | license will be issued to a person and it will permit the
| ||||||
26 | auction liquor licensee to hold the auction anywhere in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State. An auction
liquor license must be obtained for each | ||||||
2 | auction at least 14 days in advance of
the auction date. | ||||||
3 | (q) A special use permit license shall allow an Illinois | ||||||
4 | licensed
retailer to transfer a portion of its alcoholic liquor | ||||||
5 | inventory from its
retail licensed premises to the premises | ||||||
6 | specified in the license hereby
created; to purchase alcoholic | ||||||
7 | liquor from a distributor or importing distributor to be | ||||||
8 | delivered directly to the location specified in the license | ||||||
9 | hereby created; and to sell or offer for sale at retail, only | ||||||
10 | in the premises
specified in the license hereby created, the | ||||||
11 | transferred or delivered alcoholic liquor for
use or | ||||||
12 | consumption, but not for resale in any form. A special use | ||||||
13 | permit
license may be granted for the following time periods: | ||||||
14 | one day or less; 2 or
more days to a maximum of 15 days per | ||||||
15 | location in any 12-month period. An
applicant for the special | ||||||
16 | use permit license must also submit with the
application proof | ||||||
17 | satisfactory to the State Commission that the applicant will
| ||||||
18 | provide dram shop liability insurance to the maximum limits and | ||||||
19 | have local
authority approval. | ||||||
20 | A special use permit license shall allow the holder to | ||||||
21 | transfer any inventory from the holder's special use premises | ||||||
22 | to its retail premises at the conclusion of the special use | ||||||
23 | event or engage a distributor or importing distributor to | ||||||
24 | transfer any inventory from the holder's special use premises | ||||||
25 | to its retail premises at the conclusion of an off-site event, | ||||||
26 | provided that the distributor or importing distributor issues |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | bona fide charges to the special use permit licensee for fuel, | ||||||
2 | labor, and delivery and the distributor or importing | ||||||
3 | distributor collects payment from the retail licensee prior to | ||||||
4 | the distributor or importing distributor transferring | ||||||
5 | inventory to the retail premises. | ||||||
6 | Nothing in this Act prohibits a distributor or importing | ||||||
7 | distributor from offering credit or a refund for unused, | ||||||
8 | salable beer to a special use permit licensee or a special use | ||||||
9 | permit licensee from accepting a credit or refund for unused, | ||||||
10 | salable beer at the conclusion of the event specified in the | ||||||
11 | license if: (i) the holder of the special use permit license | ||||||
12 | has not transferred alcoholic liquor from its retail licensed | ||||||
13 | premises to the premises specified in the special use permit | ||||||
14 | license; (ii) the distributor or importing distributor offers | ||||||
15 | the credit or refund for the unused, salable beer that it | ||||||
16 | delivered to the premises specified in the special use permit | ||||||
17 | license and not for any unused, salable beer that the | ||||||
18 | distributor or importing distributor delivered to the | ||||||
19 | retailer's premises; and (iii) the unused, salable beer would | ||||||
20 | likely spoil if transferred to the retailer premises. | ||||||
21 | (r) A winery shipper's license shall allow a person
with a | ||||||
22 | first-class or second-class wine manufacturer's
license, a | ||||||
23 | first-class or second-class wine-maker's license,
or a limited | ||||||
24 | wine manufacturer's license or who is licensed to
make wine | ||||||
25 | under the laws of another state to ship wine
made by that | ||||||
26 | licensee directly to a resident of this
State who is 21 years |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of age or older for that resident's
personal use and not for | ||||||
2 | resale. Prior to receiving a
winery shipper's license, an | ||||||
3 | applicant for the license must
provide the Commission with a | ||||||
4 | true copy of its current
license in any state in which it is | ||||||
5 | licensed as a manufacturer
of wine. An applicant for a winery | ||||||
6 | shipper's license must
also complete an application form that | ||||||
7 | provides any other
information the Commission deems necessary. | ||||||
8 | The application form shall include all addresses from which the | ||||||
9 | applicant for a winery shipper's license intends to ship wine, | ||||||
10 | including the name and address of any third party, except for a | ||||||
11 | common carrier, authorized to ship wine on behalf of the | ||||||
12 | manufacturer. The
application form shall include an | ||||||
13 | acknowledgement consenting
to the jurisdiction of the | ||||||
14 | Commission, the Illinois
Department of Revenue, and the courts | ||||||
15 | of this State concerning
the enforcement of this Act and any | ||||||
16 | related laws, rules, and
regulations, including authorizing | ||||||
17 | the Department of Revenue
and the Commission to conduct audits | ||||||
18 | for the purpose of
ensuring compliance with Public Act 95-634, | ||||||
19 | and an acknowledgement that the wine manufacturer is in | ||||||
20 | compliance with Section 6-2 of this Act. Any third party, | ||||||
21 | except for a common carrier, authorized to ship wine on behalf | ||||||
22 | of a first-class or second-class wine manufacturer's licensee, | ||||||
23 | a first-class or second-class wine-maker's licensee, a limited | ||||||
24 | wine manufacturer's licensee, or a person who is licensed to | ||||||
25 | make wine under the laws of another state shall also be | ||||||
26 | disclosed by the winery shipper's licensee, and a copy of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | written appointment of the third-party wine provider, except | ||||||
2 | for a common carrier, to the wine manufacturer shall be filed | ||||||
3 | with the State Commission as a supplement to the winery | ||||||
4 | shipper's license application or any renewal thereof. The | ||||||
5 | winery shipper's license holder shall affirm under penalty of | ||||||
6 | perjury, as part of the winery shipper's license application or | ||||||
7 | renewal, that he or she only ships wine, either directly or | ||||||
8 | indirectly through a third-party provider, from the licensee's | ||||||
9 | own production. | ||||||
10 | Except for a common carrier, a third-party provider | ||||||
11 | shipping wine on behalf of a winery shipper's license holder is | ||||||
12 | the agent of the winery shipper's license holder and, as such, | ||||||
13 | a winery shipper's license holder is responsible for the acts | ||||||
14 | and omissions of the third-party provider acting on behalf of | ||||||
15 | the license holder. A third-party provider, except for a common | ||||||
16 | carrier, that engages in shipping wine into Illinois on behalf | ||||||
17 | of a winery shipper's license holder shall consent to the | ||||||
18 | jurisdiction of the State Commission and the State. Any | ||||||
19 | third-party, except for a common carrier, holding such an | ||||||
20 | appointment shall, by February 1 of each calendar year and upon | ||||||
21 | request by the State Commission or the Department of Revenue, | ||||||
22 | file with the State Commission a statement detailing each | ||||||
23 | shipment made to an Illinois resident. The statement shall | ||||||
24 | include the name and address of the third-party provider filing | ||||||
25 | the statement, the time period covered by the statement, and | ||||||
26 | the following information: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) the name, address, and license number of the winery | ||||||
2 | shipper on whose behalf the shipment was made; | ||||||
3 | (2) the quantity of the products delivered; and | ||||||
4 | (3) the date and address of the shipment. | ||||||
5 | If the Department of Revenue or the State Commission requests a | ||||||
6 | statement under this paragraph, the third-party provider must | ||||||
7 | provide that statement no later than 30 days after the request | ||||||
8 | is made. Any books, records, supporting papers, and documents | ||||||
9 | containing information and data relating to a statement under | ||||||
10 | this paragraph shall be kept and preserved for a period of 3 | ||||||
11 | years, unless their destruction sooner is authorized, in | ||||||
12 | writing, by the Director of Revenue, and shall be open and | ||||||
13 | available to inspection by the Director of Revenue or the State | ||||||
14 | Commission or any duly authorized officer, agent, or employee | ||||||
15 | of the State Commission or the Department of Revenue, at all | ||||||
16 | times during business hours of the day. Any person who violates | ||||||
17 | any provision of this paragraph or any rule of the State | ||||||
18 | Commission for the administration and enforcement of the | ||||||
19 | provisions of this paragraph is guilty of a Class C | ||||||
20 | misdemeanor. In case of a continuing violation, each day's | ||||||
21 | continuance thereof shall be a separate and distinct offense. | ||||||
22 | The State Commission shall adopt rules as soon as | ||||||
23 | practicable to implement the requirements of Public Act 99-904 | ||||||
24 | and shall adopt rules prohibiting any such third-party | ||||||
25 | appointment of a third-party provider, except for a common | ||||||
26 | carrier, that has been deemed by the State Commission to have |
