3    (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings:
4        (1) The General Assembly of Illinois, having reviewed
5    this Act in light of the United States Supreme Court's 2005
6    decision in Granholm v. Heald, has determined to conform
7    that law to the constitutional principles enunciated by the
8    Court in a manner that best preserves the temperance,
9    revenue, and orderly distribution values of this Act.
10        (2) Minimizing automobile accidents and fatalities,
11    domestic violence, health problems, loss of productivity,
12    unemployment, and other social problems associated with
13    dependency and improvident use of alcoholic beverages
14    remains the policy of Illinois.
15        (3) To the maximum extent constitutionally feasible,
16    Illinois desires to collect sufficient revenue from excise
17    and use taxes on alcoholic beverages for the purpose of
18    responding to such social problems.
19        (4) Combined with family education and individual
20    discipline, retail validation of age, and assessment of the
21    capacity of the consumer remains the best pre-sale social
22    protection against the problems associated with the abuse
23    of alcoholic liquor.
24        (5) Therefore, the paramount purpose of this

3    and beer.
4    For these reasons, the Commission shall establish a system
5to notify the out-of-state trade of this prohibition and to
6detect violations. The Commission shall request the Attorney
7General to extradite any offender.

10distribution and sale of alcoholic liquor and pursuant to the
11federal Webb-Kenyon Act declaring that alcoholic liquor
12shipped in interstate commerce must comply with state laws, the

14alcoholic liquor from a point outside this State through
15various direct marketing means, such as catalogs, newspapers,
16mailers, and the Internet, directly to residents of this State
17poses a serious threat to the State's efforts to prevent youths

26-29, subparagraph (17) of Section 3-12, or any other shipment

5that a person has violated this Section, shall give notice to
6the person by certified mail to cease and desist all shipments
7of alcoholic liquor into this State and to withdraw from this
8State within 5 working days after receipt of the notice all
9shipments of alcoholic liquor then in transit. A person who
10violates the cease and desist notice is subject to the
11applicable penalties in subsection (a) of Section 10-1 of this

14has failed to comply with the Commission notice under this
15Section, it shall notify the Department of Revenue and file a
16complaint with the State's Attorney of the county where the
17alcoholic liquor was delivered or with appropriate law
