disposition of alcoholic liquor | 12 | | damaged as a result of an accident, wreck,
flood, fire or | 13 | | other similar occurrence.

of | 7 | | Section 1926 of the Federal ADAMHA Reorganization Act of | 8 | | 1992 (Public Law

complies with the | 10 | | provisions of P.L. 102-321 and the rules promulgated | 11 | | pursuant
thereto.
| 12 | | As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the | 13 | | following essential
information:
| 14 | | (i) the number of retail distributors of tobacco | 15 | | products, by type and
geographic area, in the State;
| 16 | | (ii) the number of reported citations and | 17 | | successful convictions,

|
| 1 | | (iv) the level of access and availability of | 2 | | tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18.
| 3 | | To obtain the data necessary to comply with the | 4 | | provisions of P.L. 102-321
and the requirements of this | 5 | | report, the Commission shall conduct random,
unannounced | 6 | | inspections of a geographically and scientifically | 7 | | representative
sample of the State's retail tobacco | 8 | | distributors.
| 9 | | The Commission shall consult with the Department of | 10 | | Public Health, the
Department of Human Services, the
| 11 | | Illinois State Police and any
other executive branch | 12 | | agency, and private organizations that may have
| 13 | | information relevant to this report.
| 14 | | The Commission may contract with the Food and Drug | 15 | | Administration of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human | 16 | | Services to conduct unannounced
investigations of Illinois | 17 | | tobacco vendors to determine compliance with federal
laws | 18 | | relating to the illegal sale of cigarettes and smokeless | 19 | | tobacco products

| 20 | | (14) On or before April 30, 2008 and every 2 years
| 21 | | thereafter, the Commission shall present a written
report | 22 | | to the Governor and the General Assembly that shall
be | 23 | | based on a study of the impact of this amendatory Act of
| 24 | | the 95th General Assembly on the business of soliciting,
| 25 | | selling, and shipping wine from inside and outside of this
| 26 | | State directly to residents of this State. As part of its
|
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 10 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | report, the Commission shall provide all of the

| 4 | | revenues generated. | 5 | | (B) The amount of licensing fees received. | 6 | | (C) The number of cases of wine shipped from inside

| 20 | | of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. | 21 | | (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
| 22 | | alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct
alcohol | 23 | | compliance operations to investigate whether
businesses | 24 | | that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine
from inside | 25 | | or outside of this State directly to residents
of this | 26 | | State are licensed by this State or are selling or
|
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 11 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
| 2 | | violation of this Act. | 3 | | (16) The Commission shall, in addition to
notifying any | 4 | | appropriate law enforcement agency, submit
notices of | 5 | | complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and
6-29.1 by | 6 | | persons who do not hold a winery shipper's
license under | 7 | | this amendatory Act to the Illinois Attorney General and
to | 8 | | the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax | 9 | | and Trade Bureau. | 10 | | (17) (A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws | 11 | | of another state who has a winery shipper's license under | 12 | | this amendatory Act and annually produces less than 25,000 | 13 | | gallons of wine or a person who has a first-class or | 14 | | second-class wine manufacturer's license, a first-class or | 15 | | second-class wine-maker's license, or a limited wine | 16 | | manufacturer's license under this Act and annually | 17 | | produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine may make | 18 | | application to the Commission for a self-distribution | 19 | | exemption to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons | 20 | | of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per | 21 | | year. | 22 | | (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under | 23 | | penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the | 24 | | date it was established; (2) its volume of production | 25 | | and sales for each year since its establishment; (3) | 26 | | its efforts to establish distributor relationships; |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 12 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | (4) that a self-distribution exemption is necessary to | 2 | | facilitate the marketing of its wine; and (5) that it | 3 | | will comply with the liquor and revenue laws of the | 4 | | United States, this State, and any other state where it | 5 | | is licensed. | 6 | | (C) The Commission shall approve the application | 7 | | for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) | 8 | | is in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; | 9 | | (2) is not a member of any affiliated group that | 10 | | produces more than 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or | 11 | | produces any other alcoholic liquor; (3) will not | 12 | | annually produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of | 13 | | wine; and (4) will not annually sell more than 5,000 | 14 | | gallons of its wine to retail licensees. | 15 | | (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall | 16 | | annually certify to the Commission its production of | 17 | | wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated | 18 | | production and sales for the next 12 months. The | 19 | | Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a | 20 | | self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it | 21 | | finds that the exemption holder has made a material | 22 | | misrepresentation in its application, violated a | 23 | | revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production | 24 | | of 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or | 25 | | become part of an affiliated group producing more than | 26 | | 25,000 gallons of wine or any other alcoholic liquor. |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 13 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act | 2 | | or amendatory Act or a bona fide investigation by duly | 3 | | sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or | 4 | | its agents, the Commission shall maintain the | 5 | | production and sales information of a | 6 | | self-distribution exemption holder as confidential and | 7 | | shall not release such information to any person. | 8 | | (F) The Commission shall issue regulations | 9 | | governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with | 10 | | this Section and this Act. | 11 | | (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit | 12 | | a self-distribution exemption holder from entering | 13 | | into or simultaneously having a distribution agreement | 14 | | with a licensed Illinois distributor. | 15 | | (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to | 16 | | promote and continue orderly markets. The General | 17 | | Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois' | 18 | | regulatory distribution system it is necessary to | 19 | | create an exception for smaller makers of wine as their | 20 | | wines are frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, | 21 | | vintages, and taste to find and create market niches | 22 | | sometimes too small for distributor or importing | 23 | | distributor business strategies. Limited | 24 | | self-distribution rights will afford and allow smaller | 25 | | makers of wine access to the marketplace in order to | 26 | | develop a customer base without impairing the |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 14 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | integrity of the 3-tier system.
| 2 | | (18) (A) A craft brewer licensee, who must also be | 3 | | either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer | 4 | | and annually manufacture less than 930,000 465,000 gallons | 5 | | of beer, may make application to the Commission for a | 6 | | self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more | 7 | | than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer to | 8 | | retail licensees per year. | 9 | | (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under | 10 | | penalty of perjury, the craft brewer licensee shall | 11 | | state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume | 12 | | of beer manufactured and sold for each year since its | 13 | | establishment; (3) its efforts to establish | 14 | | distributor relationships; (4) that a | 15 | | self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate | 16 | | the marketing of its beer; and (5) that it will comply | 17 | | with the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the | 18 | | United States, this State, and any other state where it | 19 | | is licensed. | 20 | | (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on | 21 | | the Commission's website at least 45 days prior to | 22 | | action by the Commission. The Commission shall approve | 23 | | the application for a self-distribution exemption if | 24 | | the craft brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with | 25 | | the State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is | 26 | | not a member of any affiliated group that manufacturers |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 15 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | more than 930,000 465,000 gallons of beer per annum or | 2 | | produces any other alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not | 3 | | annually manufacture for sale more than 930,000 | 4 | | 465,000 gallons of beer; and (4) shall not annually | 5 | | sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to retail | 6 | | licensees. | 7 | | (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall | 8 | | annually certify to the Commission its manufacture of | 9 | | beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated | 10 | | manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. | 11 | | The Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a | 12 | | self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it | 13 | | finds that the exemption holder has made a material | 14 | | misrepresentation in its application, violated a | 15 | | revenue or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, | 16 | | exceeded the manufacture of 930,000 465,000 gallons of | 17 | | beer in any calendar year or became part of an | 18 | | affiliated group manufacturing more than 930,000 | 19 | | 465,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic | 20 | | beverage. | 21 | | (E) The Commission shall issue rules and | 22 | | regulations governing self-distribution exemptions | 23 | | consistent with this Act. | 24 | | (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a | 25 | | self-distribution exemption holder from entering into | 26 | | or simultaneously having a distribution agreement with |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 16 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | a licensed Illinois importing distributor or a | 2 | | distributor. If a self-distribution exemption holder | 3 | | enters into a distribution agreement and has assigned | 4 | | distribution rights to an importing distributor or | 5 | | distributor, then the self-distribution exemption | 6 | | holder's distribution rights in the assigned | 7 | | territories shall cease in a reasonable time not to | 8 | | exceed 60 days. | 9 | | (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to | 10 | | promote and continue orderly markets. The General | 11 | | Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois' | 12 | | regulatory distribution system, it is necessary to | 13 | | create an exception for smaller manufacturers in order | 14 | | to afford and allow such smaller manufacturers of beer | 15 | | access to the marketplace in order to develop a | 16 | | customer base without impairing the integrity of the | 17 | | 3-tier system. | 18 | | (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall | 19 | | present a written
report to the Governor and the General | 20 | | Assembly that shall be based on a study
of the impact of this | 21 | | amendatory Act of 1998 on the business of soliciting,
selling, | 22 | | and shipping
alcoholic liquor from outside of this State | 23 | | directly to residents of this
State.
| 24 | | As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the | 25 | | following
information:
| 26 | | (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues |
| | | HB1573 Enrolled | - 17 - | LRB098 07025 MGM 37084 b |
|
| 1 | | generated as a
result of this amendatory Act of 1998;
| 2 | | (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result | 3 | | of this amendatory
Act of 1998;
