1of age or older for that resident's personal use and not for
2resale. Prior to receiving a winery shipper's license, an

3shipper's license application or any renewal thereof. The
4winery shipper's license holder shall affirm under penalty of
5perjury, as part of the winery shipper's license application or
6renewal, that he or she only ships wine, either directly or
7indirectly through a third-party provider, from the licensee's
8own production.
9    A third-party provider shipping wine on behalf of a winery
10shipper's license holder is the agent of the winery shipper's
11license holder and, as such, a winery shipper's license holder
12is responsible for the acts and omissions of the third-party
13provider acting on behalf of the license holder. A third-party
14provider that engages in shipping wine into Illinois on behalf
15of a winery shipper's license holder shall consent to the
16jurisdiction of the State Commission and the State. Any
17third-party holding such an appointment shall, by February 1 of
18each calendar year, file with the State Commission a statement
19detailing each shipment made to an Illinois resident. The State
20Commission shall adopt rules as soon as practicable to
21implement the requirements of this amendatory Act of the 99th
22General Assembly and shall adopt rules prohibiting any such
23third-party appointment of a third-party provider that has been
24deemed by the State Commission to have violated the provisions
25of this Act with regard to any winery shipper licensee.
26    A winery shipper licensee must pay to the Department of

2all wine that is sold by the licensee and shipped to a person
3in this State. For the purposes of Section 8-1, a winery
4shipper licensee shall be taxed in the same manner as a
5manufacturer of wine. A licensee who is not otherwise required
6to register under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act must
7register under the Use Tax Act to collect and remit use tax to
8the Department of Revenue for all gallons of wine that are sold
9by the licensee and shipped to persons in this State. If a
10licensee fails to remit the tax imposed under this Act in
11accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of this Act, the
12winery shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance with
13the provisions of Article VII of this Act. If a licensee fails
14to properly register and remit tax under the Use Tax Act or the
15Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for all wine that is sold by the
16winery shipper and shipped to persons in this State, the winery
17shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance with the
18provisions of Article VII of this Act.
19    A winery shipper licensee must collect, maintain, and
20submit to the Commission on a semi-annual basis the total
21number of cases per resident of wine shipped to residents of
22this State. A winery shipper licensed under this subsection (r)
23must comply with the requirements of Section 6-29 of this

8person, after purchasing or otherwise obtaining alcoholic
9liquor, shall sell, give, or deliver such alcoholic liquor to
10another person under the age of 21 years, except in the
11performance of a religious ceremony or service. Except as

13defense if the agent or employee accepted the written evidence
14knowing it to be false or fraudulent. If a false or fraudulent

21    Sec. 6-29.1. Direct shipments of alcoholic liquor.
22    (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings:
23        (1) The General Assembly of Illinois, having reviewed
24    this Act in light of the United States Supreme Court's 2005
25    decision in Granholm v. Heald, has determined to conform

 

 

SB2989 Engrossed- 32 -LRB099 20595 RPS 45155 b

1    that law to the constitutional principles enunciated by the
2    Court in a manner that best preserves the temperance,
3    revenue, and orderly distribution values of this Act.
4        (2) Minimizing automobile accidents and fatalities,
5    domestic violence, health problems, loss of productivity,
6    unemployment, and other social problems associated with
7    dependency and improvident use of alcoholic beverages
8    remains the policy of Illinois.
9        (3) To the maximum extent constitutionally feasible,
10    Illinois desires to collect sufficient revenue from excise
11    and use taxes on alcoholic beverages for the purpose of
12    responding to such social problems.
13        (4) Combined with family education and individual
14    discipline, retail validation of age, and assessment of the
15    capacity of the consumer remains the best pre-sale social
16    protection against the problems associated with the abuse
17    of alcoholic liquor.
18        (5) Therefore, the paramount purpose of this
19    amendatory Act is to continue to carefully limit direct
20    shipment sales of wine produced by makers of wine and to
21    continue to prohibit such direct shipment sales for spirits
22    and beer.
23    For these reasons, the Commission shall establish a system
24to notify the out-of-state trade of this prohibition and to
25detect violations. The Commission shall request the Attorney
26General to extradite any offender.

1    (b) Pursuant to the Twenty-First Amendment of the United
2States Constitution allowing states to regulate the
3distribution and sale of alcoholic liquor and pursuant to the
4federal Webb-Kenyon Act declaring that alcoholic liquor
5shipped in interstate commerce must comply with state laws, the
6General Assembly hereby finds and declares that selling
7alcoholic liquor from a point outside this State through
8various direct marketing means, such as catalogs, newspapers,
9mailers, and the Internet, directly to residents of this State
10poses a serious threat to the State's efforts to prevent youths
11from accessing alcoholic liquor; to State revenue collections;
12and to the economy of this State.
13    Any person manufacturing, distributing, or selling
14alcoholic liquor who knowingly ships or transports or causes
15the shipping or transportation of any alcoholic liquor from a
16point outside this State to a person in this State who does not
17hold a manufacturer's, distributor's, importing distributor's,
18or non-resident dealer's license issued by the Liquor Control
19Commission, other than a shipment of sacramental wine to a bona
20fide religious organization, a shipment authorized by Section
216-29, subparagraph (17) of Section 3-12, or any other shipment
22authorized by this Act, is in violation of this Act.
23    The Commission, upon determining, after investigation,
24that a person has violated this Section, shall give notice to
25the person by certified mail to cease and desist all shipments
26of alcoholic liquor into this State and to withdraw from this

 

 

SB2989 Engrossed- 34 -LRB099 20595 RPS 45155 b

1State within 5 working days after receipt of the notice all
2shipments of alcoholic liquor then in transit. A person who
3violates the cease and desist notice is subject to the
4applicable penalties in subsection (a) of Section 10-1 of this
5Act.
6    Whenever the Commission has reason to believe that a person
7has failed to comply with the Commission notice under this
8Section, it shall notify the Department of Revenue and file a
9complaint with the State's Attorney of the county where the
10alcoholic liquor was delivered or with appropriate law
11enforcement officials.
12    Failure to comply with the notice issued by the Commission
13under this Section constitutes a business offense for which the
14person shall be fined not more than $1,000 for a first offense,
15not more than $5,000 for a second offense, and not more than
16$10,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Each shipment of
17alcoholic liquor delivered in violation of the cease and desist
18notice shall constitute a separate offense.
