Bill > HF2108

This bill amends the Iowa Code to provide for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor. The key provisions are: 1. It allows alcoholic liquor manufacturers licensed in Iowa or another state to apply for an "alcoholic liquor direct shipper permit" to sell and ship alcoholic liquor directly to consumers in Iowa, subject to various requirements and restrictions. 2. It requires the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor to be made by a holder of an "alcoholic beverage carrier permit", which expands the existing "wine carrier permit" to cover the delivery of both wine and alcoholic liquor. 3. It imposes various requirements on the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor, such as ensuring the recipient is at least 21 years old, proper labeling of packages, and remitting a 50% wholesale tax to the state. 4. It provides for enforcement mechanisms, including allowing audits of the shipper's records and potential penalties for violations. Overall, this bill aims to establish a regulatory framework for the direct-to-consumer shipment of alcoholic liquor in Iowa, building on the existing system for direct wine shipments.
