Bill Summary

AN ACT TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES; TO REQUIRE PERMITTED COMMON CARRIERS TO SUBMIT REPORTS DETAILING SHIPMENTS OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES INTO THE STATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

AI Summary

This bill requires common carriers (transportation companies with official certificates) to submit detailed quarterly reports to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration about their shipments of alcoholic beverages into the state. The reports must include comprehensive information such as the carrier's registration details, total gallons of each type of alcoholic beverage shipped, specific delivery dates, parcel tracking numbers, recipient zip codes, and supplier information. The bill defines key terms like "alcoholic beverages" (which includes beer, wine, spirits, and cider) and "consumer" (an individual ordering beverages, but not including those with resale licenses). If a common carrier does not ship any alcoholic beverages during a reporting period, they must still submit a report stating this. Carriers who fail to submit these reports will be reported to the Arkansas Department of Transportation and may face penalties under existing transportation regulations. The bill also allows the Department of Finance and Administration to request additional documentation to verify the submitted reports, and gives the department's secretary authority to create implementation rules.
