distributors or importing distributors and which enlists
agents, representatives, or individuals acting on its behalf
who contact licensed retailers on a regular and continual
basis in this State must register those agents,
representatives, or persons acting on its behalf with the

represents, the territory or areas assigned to sell to or

discuss pricing terms of alcoholic liquor, and any other
questions deemed appropriate and necessary. All statements in
the forms required to be made by law or by rule shall be deemed
material, and any person who knowingly misstates any material
fact under oath in an application is guilty of a Class B
misdemeanor. Fraud, misrepresentation, false statements,
misleading statements, evasions, or suppression of material
facts in the securing of a registration are grounds for
suspension or revocation of the registration. The State
Commission shall post a list of registered agents on the
Commission's website.

SB1001 Enrolled - 16 - LRB102 04809 RPS 14828 b
(c) An importing distributor's license may be issued to
and held by those only who are duly licensed distributors,
upon the filing of an application by a duly licensed
distributor, with the Commission and the Commission shall,
without the payment of any fee, immediately issue such
importing distributor's license to the applicant, which shall
allow the importation of alcoholic liquor by the licensee into
this State from any point in the United States outside this
State, and the purchase of alcoholic liquor in barrels, casks
or other bulk containers and the bottling of such alcoholic
liquors before resale thereof, but all bottles or containers
so filled shall be sealed, labeled, stamped and otherwise made
to comply with all provisions, rules and regulations governing
manufacturers in the preparation and bottling of alcoholic
liquors. The importing distributor's license shall permit such
licensee to purchase alcoholic liquor from Illinois licensed
non-resident dealers and foreign importers only. No person
licensed as an importing distributor shall be granted a
non-resident dealer's license.
(d) A retailer's license shall allow the licensee to sell
and offer for sale at retail, only in the premises specified in
the license, alcoholic liquor for use or consumption, but not
for resale in any form. Except as provided in Section 6-16,

remove, or restrict the ability of a holder of a retailer's
license to transfer or ship alcoholic liquor to the purchaser

SB1001 Enrolled - 17 - LRB102 04809 RPS 14828 b
for use or consumption subject to any applicable local law or
ordinance. For the purposes of this Section, "shipping" means
the movement of alcoholic liquor from a licensed retailer to a
consumer via a common carrier. Except as provided in Section
6-16, 6-29, or 6-29.1, nothing in this Act shall deny, limit,
remove, or restrict the ability of a holder of a retailer's
license to deliver alcoholic liquor to the purchaser for use
or consumption. The delivery shall be made only within 12
hours from the time the alcoholic liquor leaves the licensed
premises of the retailer for delivery. For the purposes of
this Section, "delivery" means the movement of alcoholic
liquor purchased from a licensed retailer to a consumer
through the following methods:
(1) delivery within licensed retailer's parking lot,
including curbside, for pickup by the consumer;
(2) delivery by an owner, officer, director,
shareholder, or employee of the licensed retailer; or
(3) delivery by a third-party contractor, independent
contractor, or agent with whom the licensed retailer has

Under subsection (1), (2), or (3), delivery shall not
include the use of common carriers.
Any retail license issued to a manufacturer shall only
permit the manufacturer to sell beer at retail on the premises
actually occupied by the manufacturer. For the purpose of
further describing the type of business conducted at a retail

licensed premises, a retailer's licensee may be designated by
the State Commission as (i) an on premise consumption
retailer, (ii) an off premise sale retailer, or (iii) a
combined on premise consumption and off premise sale retailer.
Except for a municipality with a population of more than
1,000,000 inhabitants, a home rule unit may not regulate the
delivery of alcoholic liquor inconsistent with this
subsection. This paragraph is a limitation under subsection
(i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on
the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and
functions exercised by the State. A non-home rule municipality
may not regulate the delivery of alcoholic liquor inconsistent
with this subsection.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
(d), a retail licensee may sell alcoholic liquors to a special
event retailer licensee for resale to the extent permitted
under subsection (e).
(e) A special event retailer's license (not-for-profit)
shall permit the licensee to purchase alcoholic liquors from
an Illinois licensed distributor (unless the licensee
purchases less than $500 of alcoholic liquors for the special
event, in which case the licensee may purchase the alcoholic
liquors from a licensed retailer) and shall allow the licensee
to sell and offer for sale, at retail, alcoholic liquors for
use or consumption, but not for resale in any form and only at
the location and on the specific dates designated for the

SB1001 Enrolled - 19 - LRB102 04809 RPS 14828 b

2a of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, does not hold a resale
number under Section 2c of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
and does not hold an exemption number under Section 1g of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, in which event the Commission

statement to that effect; (ii) submit with the application
proof satisfactory to the State Commission that the applicant
will provide dram shop liability insurance in the maximum

provided that the above powers may be exercised only in

licensees exercising the above powers shall be subject to all
provisions of Article VIII of this Act as applied to importing
distributors. A railroad license shall also permit the
licensee to sell or dispense alcoholic liquors on any club,

own production.
Except for a common carrier, a third-party provider
shipping wine on behalf of a winery shipper's license holder
is the agent of the winery shipper's license holder and, as
such, a winery shipper's license holder is responsible for the
acts and omissions of the third-party provider acting on
behalf of the license holder. A third-party provider, except
for a common carrier, that engages in shipping wine into
Illinois on behalf of a winery shipper's license holder shall

be open and available to inspection by the Director of Revenue
or the State Commission or any duly authorized officer, agent,
or employee of the State Commission or the Department of
Revenue, at all times during business hours of the day. Any
person who violates any provision of this paragraph or any
rule of the State Commission for the administration and
enforcement of the provisions of this paragraph is guilty of a
Class C misdemeanor. In case of a continuing violation, each

offense.
The State Commission shall adopt rules as soon as

appointment of a third-party provider, except for a common
carrier, that has been deemed by the State Commission to have

the winery shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance
with the provisions of Article VII of this Act. If a licensee
fails to properly register and remit tax under the Use Tax Act
or the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for all wine that is sold
by the winery shipper and shipped to persons in this State, the
