1 resident of this State. Delivery of a shipment by an
2 out-of-state shipper licensee pursuant to this Section shall
3 not be deemed to constitute a sale in this State.
4     (b) The shipping container of any wine shipped sent into or
5 out of this State under this Section shall be clearly labeled
6 with the words "CONTAINS ALCOHOL. SIGNATURE OF A PERSON 21
7 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY." to indicate that

22     (235 ILCS 5/6-29.1)
23     Sec. 6-29.1. Direct shipments of alcoholic liquor.
24 Pursuant to the Twenty-First Amendment of the United States
25 Constitution allowing states to regulate the distribution and
26 sale of alcoholic liquor and pursuant to the federal
27 Webb-Kenyon Act declaring that alcoholic liquor shipped in
28 interstate commerce must comply with state laws, the General
29 Assembly hereby finds and declares that selling alcoholic
30 liquor from a point outside this State through various direct
31 marketing means, such as catalogs, newspapers, mailers, and the
32 Internet, directly to residents of this State poses a serious
33 threat to the State's efforts to prevent youths from accessing
34 alcoholic liquor; to State revenue collections; and to the
35 economy of this State.

 

 

SB2750 - 16 - LRB094 18988 LJB 54468 b

1     Any person manufacturing, distributing, or selling
2 alcoholic liquor who knowingly ships or transports or causes
3 the shipping or transportation of any alcoholic liquor from a
4 point outside this State to a person in this State who does not
5 hold a retailer's, manufacturer's, distributor's, importing
6 distributor's, or non-resident dealer's license issued by the
7 Liquor Control Commission, other than a shipment of sacramental
8 wine to a bona fide religious organization, a shipment
9 authorized by Section 6-29, or any other shipment authorized by
10 this Act, is in violation of this Act. A wine-maker licensed in
11 another state that ships or transports wine from a point
12 outside of this State to a retailer in this State shall ship or
13 transport wine only in the amount permitted for a wine-maker
14 licensed in this State under Section 5-1 of this Act.
15     The Commission, upon determining, after investigation,
16 that a person has violated this Section, shall give notice to
17 the person by certified mail to cease and desist all shipments
18 of alcoholic liquor into this State and to withdraw from this
19 State within 5 working days after receipt of the notice all
20 shipments of alcoholic liquor then in transit.
21     Whenever the Commission has reason to believe that a person
22 has failed to comply with the Commission notice under this
23 Section, it shall notify the Department of Revenue and file a
24 complaint with the State's Attorney of the county where the
25 alcoholic liquor was delivered or with appropriate law
26 enforcement officials.
27     Failure to comply with the notice issued by the Commission
28 under this Section constitutes a business offense for which the
29 person shall be fined not more than $1,000 for a first offense,
30 not more than $5,000 for a second offense, and not more than
31 $10,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Each shipment of
32 alcoholic liquor delivered in violation of the cease and desist
33 notice shall constitute a separate offense.
