What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would allow businesses to ship alcoholic liquor directly to people living in the state. To do this, companies must get a special permit and follow rules for registering their products and reporting their sales to the state. These businesses must also pay a fee to the state based on the price of the liquor they ship.1

Read the official explanation

The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill allows for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor within the state.42A provides for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor and provides for an alcoholic liquor direct shipper permit. Provisions governing the direct shipment of wine and the wine direct shipper permit are generally made applicable to the new Code section providing for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor. In addition to these requirements, the new Code section requires all alcoholic liquor subject to direct shipping to be properly registered with the alcoholic beverages division and that products which are not listed for bailment must be registered to include information on the name of the manufacturer, the name of the brand, the standard of fill, the wholesale price, and other information as requested by the division. The new Code section also requires each alcoholic liquor direct shipper permittee to make a monthly report to the alcoholic beverages division that lists the products and quantities shipped directly to residents of this state in the preceding month, the name and address of the individuals to whom the alcoholic liquor was sold in each sale, the wholesale price of the alcoholic liquor sold, the purchase price and taxes charged of the alcoholic liquor sold, and the alcoholic beverage carrier permittee who delivered each shipment. Finally, the new Code section provides that an alcoholic liquor direct shipper permittee shall remit an amount to the alcoholic beverages division depending on whether the alcoholic liquor shipped is listed for sale by the division. If the alcoholic liquor is listed for sale by the division, the permittee shall remit to the division an amount equivalent to percent of the wholesale price paid by the division for the alcoholic liquor. If the alcoholic liquor is not listed for sale by the division, the permittee shall remit to the division an amount equivalent to percent of the wholesale price of the alcoholic liquor as registered with the division.188, providing for a wine carrier permit, is amended to provide for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor as provided by the bill.
