Bill > HSB712

Introduced Session

This bill relates to transferring alcoholic beverages between the premises of certain retail alcohol licensees with identical ownership. Under current Code section 123.46A (delivery of alcoholic beverages by retailers), licensees authorized to sell alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer in original unopened containers for consumption off the licensed premises may deliver alcoholic liquor, wine, or beer to a home, another licensed premises if there is identical ownership of the premises by the licensee, or other designated location in this state. The bill strikes the specified authorization to deliver to another licensed premises if there is identical ownership of the premises by the licensee. The bill allows a licensee authorized to sell alcoholic liquor for consumption off premises to transfer alcoholic liquor between licensed premises with identical ownership as the transferring licensee. The bill specifies such a transfer shall not be considered a delivery under Code section 123.46A. A transfer of alcoholic liquor pursuant to the bill shall be considered inventory owned by the licensee transferring the alcoholic liquor until placement on the premises of the licensee receiving the alcoholic liquor. After placement on the premises of the licensee receiving the alcoholic liquor, the bill specifies the alcoholic liquor is considered the inventory of the licensee receiving the alcoholic liquor for H.F. _____ regulatory and enforcement purposes. A licensee conducting the transfer of alcoholic liquor pursuant to the bill is required to maintain records of the transfer for three years and to make the records accessible to the department of revenue.
