| 11 | | register under the Use Tax Act to collect and remit use tax to
| 12 | | the Department of Revenue for all gallons of wine that are sold
| 13 | | by the licensee and shipped to persons in this State. If a

| 15 | | accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of this Act, the
| 16 | | winery shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance
with | 17 | | the provisions of Article VII of this Act. If a licensee
fails | 18 | | to properly register and remit tax under the Use Tax Act
or the | 19 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for all wine that is sold
by the | 20 | | winery shipper and shipped to persons in this
State, the winery | 21 | | shipper's license shall be revoked in
accordance with the | 22 | | provisions of Article VII of this Act. | 23 | | A winery shipper licensee must collect, maintain, and
| 24 | | submit to the Commission on a semi-annual basis the
