Bill > SB329

This bill authorizes the direct shipment of wine to consumers in Alabama under certain conditions. It requires wine producers, suppliers, importers, wholesalers, distributors, or retailers to obtain a wine direct shipper license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board in order to ship up to 24 cases of wine per year directly to Alabama residents who are at least 21 years old. The bill outlines the application and licensing requirements, as well as the responsibilities of the wine direct shipper licensees, such as paying sales and excise taxes, labeling shipments, and allowing audits of their records. The bill also grants the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and the Department of Revenue the authority to implement and enforce these provisions.
