Public Act 91-0186
HB0335 Enrolled LRB9101376LDpk
AN ACT to amend the Liquor Control Act of 1934 by
changing Section 6-17.1.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Liquor Control Act of 1934 is amended by
changing Section 6-17.1 as follows:
(235 ILCS 5/6-17.1)
Sec. 6-17.1. Distributors; sales to retailers. The
General Assembly hereby finds and declares that for the
purposes of ensuring that all retail licensees have the
opportunity to receive alcoholic liquor beer, reducing the
amount of spoiled and overaged alcoholic liquor beer sold to
customers, and maintaining the distribution system and the
State's ability to regulate against illegal importation of
alcoholic liquor beer, it is necessary to prevent
discrimination among retail licensees as provided in this
Section.
A distributor or importing distributor designated as a
distributor or importing distributor for alcoholic liquor
beer within a designated geographic area or areas under
Section 6-9 of this Act shall use its best efforts to make
available for sale to retail licensees, in its designated
geographic area or areas, each brand of alcoholic liquor beer
which the distributor or the importing distributor has been
authorized to distribute. Nothing in this Section prohibits a
distributor or importing distributor from establishing
purchase requirements unless the requirements have the effect
of excluding a majority of the retail licensees in the
designated geographic area or areas from purchasing the
alcoholic liquor beer.
