6 In lieu of suspending or revoking a license, the

4 accurately disclose at all times the beneficial ownership
5 of such retail licensed business. The accounts, forms,
6 records and memoranda shall be available at all reasonable
7 times for inspection by authorized representatives of the
8 State commission or by any local liquor control
9 commissioner or his or her authorized representative. The
10 commission, may, from time to time, alter, amend or repeal,
11 in whole or in part, any uniform system of accounts, or the
12 form and manner of keeping accounts.

16 As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
17 following essential information:
18 (i) the number of retail distributors of tobacco
19 products, by type and geographic area, in the State;
20 (ii) the number of reported citations and
21 successful convictions, categorized by type and
22 location of retail distributor, for violation of the

26 (iii) the extent and nature of organized

SB1282- 9 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 educational and governmental activities that are

3 compliance with any Illinois laws that prohibit the
4 sale or distribution of tobacco products to minors; and
5 (iv) the level of access and availability of
6 tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18.
7 To obtain the data necessary to comply with the
8 provisions of P.L. 102-321 and the requirements of this
9 report, the Commission shall conduct random, unannounced
10 inspections of a geographically and scientifically
11 representative sample of the State's retail tobacco

24 (14) On or before April 30, 2008 and every 2 years

26 to the Governor and the General Assembly that shall be

SB1282- 10 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 based on a study of the impact of Public Act 95-634 this
2 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly on the business

12 State.

16 issued.
17 (F) The number of each of the following: reported

2 that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine from inside
3 or outside of this State directly to residents of this
4 State are licensed by this State or are selling or
5 attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
6 violation of this Act.
7 (16) The Commission shall, in addition to notifying any
8 appropriate law enforcement agency, submit notices of
9 complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and 6-29.1 by
10 persons who do not hold a winery shipper's license under
11 this amendatory Act to the Illinois Attorney General and to
12 the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
13 and Trade Bureau.
14 (17) (A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
15 of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
16 this amendatory Act and annually produces less than 25,000
17 gallons of wine or a person who has a first-class or
18 second-class wine manufacturer's license, a first-class or
19 second-class wine-maker's license, or a limited wine
20 manufacturer's license under this Act and annually
21 produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine may make
22 application to the Commission for a self-distribution
23 exemption to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons
24 of the exemption holder's wine to retail licensees per
25 year.
26 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under

SB1282- 12 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the
2 date it was established; (2) its volume of production
3 and sales for each year since its establishment; (3)
4 its efforts to establish distributor relationships;
5 (4) that a self-distribution exemption is necessary to
6 facilitate the marketing of its wine; and (5) that it
7 will comply with the liquor and revenue laws of the
8 United States, this State, and any other state where it
9 is licensed.
10 (C) The Commission shall approve the application
11 for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1)
12 is in compliance with State revenue and liquor laws;
13 (2) is not a member of any affiliated group that
14 produces more than 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or
15 produces any other alcoholic liquor; (3) will not
16 annually produce for sale more than 25,000 gallons of
17 wine; and (4) will not annually sell more than 5,000
18 gallons of its wine to retail licensees.
19 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
20 annually certify to the Commission its production of
21 wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
22 production and sales for the next 12 months. The
23 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
24 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it
25 finds that the exemption holder has made a material
26 misrepresentation in its application, violated a

SB1282- 13 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production
2 of 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or
3 become part of an affiliated group producing more than
4 25,000 gallons of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
5 (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act
6 or Public Act 95-634 amendatory Act or a bona fide
7 investigation by duly sworn law enforcement officials,
8 the Commission, or its agents, the Commission shall
9 maintain the production and sales information of a
10 self-distribution exemption holder as confidential and
11 shall not release such information to any person.
12 (F) The Commission shall issue regulations
13 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
14 this Section and this Act.
15 (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit
16 a self-distribution exemption holder from entering
17 into or simultaneously having a distribution agreement
18 with a licensed Illinois distributor.
19 (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to
20 promote and continue orderly markets. The General
21 Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
22 regulatory distribution system it is necessary to
23 create an exception for smaller makers of wine as their
24 wines are frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes,
25 vintages, and taste to find and create market niches
26 sometimes too small for distributor or importing

SB1282- 14 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 distributor business strategies. Limited
2 self-distribution rights will afford and allow smaller
3 makers of wine access to the marketplace in order to
4 develop a customer base without impairing the
5 integrity of the 3-tier system.
6 (18) (A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
7 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
8 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,
9 may make application to the State Commission for a
10 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
11 than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer to
12 retail licensees per year.
13 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
14 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall
15 state (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume
16 of beer manufactured and sold for each year since its
17 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish
18 distributor relationships; (4) that a
19 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate
20 the marketing of its beer; and (5) that it will comply
21 with the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the
22 United States, this State, and any other state where it
23 is licensed.
24 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on
25 the State Commission's website at least 45 days prior
26 to action by the State Commission. The State Commission

SB1282- 15 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 shall approve the application for a self-distribution
2 exemption if the class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in
3 compliance with the State, revenue, and alcoholic
4 beverage laws; (2) is not a member of any affiliated
5 group that manufactures manufacturers more than
6 930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
7 alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually
8 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer;
9 (4) shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons
10 of its beer to retail licensees; and (5) has
11 relinquished any brew pub license held by the licensee,
12 including any ownership interest it held in the
13 licensed brew pub.
14 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
15 annually certify to the State Commission its
16 manufacture of beer during the previous 12 months and
17 its anticipated manufacture and sales of beer for the
18 next 12 months. The State Commission may fine, suspend,
19 or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a
20 hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made
21 a material misrepresentation in its application,
22 violated a revenue or alcoholic beverage law of
23 Illinois, exceeded the manufacture of 930,000 gallons
24 of beer in any calendar year or became part of an
25 affiliated group manufacturing more than 930,000
26 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic beverage.

SB1282- 16 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b
1 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
2 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
3 consistent with this Act.
4 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
5 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into
6 or simultaneously having a distribution agreement with
7 a licensed Illinois importing distributor or a
8 distributor. If a self-distribution exemption holder
9 enters into a distribution agreement and has assigned
10 distribution rights to an importing distributor or
11 distributor, then the self-distribution exemption
12 holder's distribution rights in the assigned
13 territories shall cease in a reasonable time not to
14 exceed 60 days.
15 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to
16 promote and continue orderly markets. The General
17 Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
18 regulatory distribution system, it is necessary to
19 create an exception for smaller manufacturers in order
20 to afford and allow such smaller manufacturers of beer
21 access to the marketplace in order to develop a
22 customer base without impairing the integrity of the
23 3-tier system.
24 (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
25present a written report to the Governor and the General
26Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public

SB1282- 17 -LRB100 10282 RPS 20469 b

2soliciting, selling, and shipping alcoholic liquor from
3outside of this State directly to residents of this State.
4 As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
5following information:
6 (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
7 generated as a result of Public Act 90-739 this amendatory
8 Act of 1998;
9 (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result
10 of Public Act 90-739 this amendatory Act of 1998;
11 (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of
12 cease and desist notices issued by the Commission, the
13 number of notices of violations issued to the Department of
14 Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
15 violations to law enforcement officials.
