13 | accordance with the provisions of this Act, and
to suspend | ||||||
14 | or revoke such licenses upon the State commission's | ||||||
15 | determination,
upon notice after hearing, that a licensee | ||||||
16 | has violated any provision of this
Act or any rule or | ||||||
17 | regulation issued pursuant thereto and in effect for 30 | ||||||
18 | days
prior to such violation. Except in the case of an | ||||||
19 | action taken pursuant to a
violation of Section 6-3, 6-5, | ||||||
20 | or 6-9, any action by the State Commission to
suspend or | ||||||
21 | revoke a licensee's license may be limited to the license | ||||||
22 | for the
specific premises where the violation occurred.
An | ||||||
23 | action for a violation of this Act shall be commenced by | ||||||
24 | the State Commission within 2 years after the date the | ||||||
25 | State Commission becomes aware of the violation.
| ||||||

| ||||||
4 | regulation issued pursuant thereto and in effect for 30 | ||||||
5 | days prior to such
violation. | ||||||
6 | For the purpose of this paragraph (1), when determining | ||||||
7 | multiple violations for the sale of alcohol to a person | ||||||
8 | under the age of 21, a second or subsequent violation for | ||||||
9 | the sale of alcohol to a person under the age of 21 shall | ||||||
10 | only be considered if it was committed within 5 years after | ||||||
11 | the date when a prior violation for the sale of alcohol to | ||||||
12 | a person under the age of 21 was committed. | ||||||
13 | The fine imposed under this paragraph may not exceed | ||||||
14 | $500 for each
violation. Each day that the activity, which | ||||||
15 | gave rise to the original fine,
continues is a separate | ||||||

22 | of that
bottle of alcoholic liquor for the first 10 bottles | ||||||
23 | so sold or served from by
the licensee. For the eleventh | ||||||
24 | bottle of alcoholic liquor and for each third
bottle | ||||||
25 | thereafter sold or served from by the licensee with a | ||||||
26 | foreign object in
it, the maximum penalty that may be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | imposed on the licensee is the destruction
of the bottle of | ||||||
2 | alcoholic liquor and a fine of up to $50.
| ||||||
3 | Any notice issued by the State Commission to a licensee | ||||||
4 | for a violation of this Act or any notice with respect to | ||||||
5 | settlement or offer in compromise shall include the field | ||||||
6 | report, photographs, and any other supporting | ||||||
7 | documentation necessary to reasonably inform the licensee | ||||||
8 | of the nature and extent of the violation or the conduct | ||||||
9 | alleged to have occurred. | ||||||
10 | (2) To adopt such rules and regulations consistent with | ||||||
11 | the
provisions of this Act which shall be necessary to | ||||||
12 | carry on its
functions and duties to the end that the | ||||||
13 | health, safety and welfare of
the People of the State of | ||||||
14 | Illinois shall be protected and temperance in
the | ||||||
15 | consumption of alcoholic liquors shall be fostered and | ||||||

premises | ||||||
2 | in this State
where alcoholic liquors are manufactured, | ||||||
3 | distributed, warehoused, or
sold. Nothing in this Act
| ||||||
4 | authorizes an agent of the Commission to inspect private
| ||||||
5 | areas within the premises without reasonable suspicion or a | ||||||
6 | warrant
during an inspection. "Private areas" include, but | ||||||
7 | are not limited to, safes, personal property, and closed | ||||||

15 | occurred, or initiate an investigation with the | ||||||
16 | appropriate
law enforcement officials.
| ||||||
17 | (5.2) To issue a cease and desist notice to persons | ||||||
18 | shipping alcoholic

| ||||||
21 | (5.3) To receive complaints from licensees, local | ||||||
22 | officials, law
enforcement agencies, organizations, and | ||||||
23 | persons stating that any licensee has

24 | any provision of this Act or the rules and regulations
| ||||||
25 | issued pursuant to this Act. Such complaints shall be in | ||||||
26 | writing, signed and
sworn to by the person making the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | complaint, and shall state with specificity
the facts in | ||||||
2 | relation to the alleged violation. If the Commission has
| ||||||
3 | reasonable grounds to believe that the complaint | ||||||
4 | substantially alleges a
violation of this Act or rules and | ||||||
5 | regulations adopted pursuant to this Act, it
shall conduct | ||||||
6 | an investigation. If, after conducting an investigation, | ||||||
7 | the
Commission is satisfied that the alleged violation did | ||||||
8 | occur, it shall proceed
with disciplinary action against | ||||||
9 | the licensee as provided in this Act.
| ||||||
10 | (6) To hear and determine appeals from orders of a | ||||||
11 | local commission
in accordance with the provisions of this | ||||||
12 | Act, as hereinafter set forth.

at | ||||||
14 | whichever location is the more convenient for the majority | ||||||
15 | of persons
who are parties to the hearing.
| ||||||
16 | (7) The commission shall establish uniform systems of | ||||||
17 | accounts to be
kept by all retail licensees having more | ||||||
18 | than 4 employees, and for this
purpose the commission may | ||||||
19 | classify all retail licensees having more
than 4 employees | ||||||
20 | and establish a uniform system of accounts for each
class | ||||||
21 | and prescribe the manner in which such accounts shall be | ||||||
22 | kept.
The commission may also prescribe the forms of | ||||||
23 | accounts to be kept by
all retail licensees having more | ||||||
24 | than 4 employees, including but not
limited to accounts of | ||||||
25 | earnings and expenses and any distribution,
payment, or | ||||||
26 | other distribution of earnings or assets, and any other
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | forms, records and memoranda which in the judgment of the | ||||||
2 | commission may
be necessary or appropriate to carry out any | ||||||
3 | of the provisions of this
Act, including but not limited to | ||||||
4 | such forms, records and memoranda as
will readily and | ||||||
5 | accurately disclose at all times the beneficial
ownership | ||||||
6 | of such retail licensed business. The accounts, forms,
| ||||||
7 | records and memoranda shall be available at all reasonable | ||||||
8 | times for
inspection by authorized representatives of the | ||||||
9 | State commission or by
any local liquor control | ||||||
10 | commissioner or his or her authorized representative.
The | ||||||

16 | discretion, hearing officers
to conduct hearings involving | ||||||
17 | complex issues or issues that will require a
protracted | ||||||
18 | period of time to resolve, to examine, or cause to be | ||||||
19 | examined,
under oath, any licensee, and to examine or cause | ||||||
20 | to be examined the books and
records
of such licensee; to | ||||||
21 | hear testimony and take proof material for its
information | ||||||
22 | in the discharge of its duties hereunder; to administer or
| ||||||
23 | cause to be administered oaths; for any such purpose to | ||||||
24 | issue
subpoena or subpoenas to require the attendance of | ||||||
25 | witnesses and the
production of books, which shall be | ||||||
26 | effective in any part of this State, and
to adopt rules to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | implement its powers under this paragraph (8).
| ||||||
2 | Any Circuit Court may by order duly entered,
require | ||||||
3 | the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant | ||||||
4 | books
subpoenaed by the State commission and the court may | ||||||
5 | compel
obedience to its order by proceedings for contempt.
| ||||||
6 | (9) To investigate the administration of laws in | ||||||
7 | relation to
alcoholic liquors in this and other states and | ||||||

26 | (BASSET) programs and to develop and administer a public
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | awareness program in Illinois to reduce or eliminate the | ||||||
2 | illegal purchase and
consumption of alcoholic beverage | ||||||
3 | products by persons under the age of 21.
Application for a | ||||||
4 | license shall be made on forms provided by the State
| ||||||
5 | Commission.
| ||||||
6 | (12) To develop and maintain a repository of license | ||||||
7 | and regulatory

| ||||||
8 | (13) (Blank). On or before January 15, 1994, the | ||||||

11 | study of the impact on and implications for the State of | ||||||
12 | Illinois
of Section 1926 of the federal ADAMHA | ||||||

25 | Distribution of Tobacco Products Act and the Smokeless
| ||||||
26 | Tobacco Limitation Act;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iii) the extent and nature of organized | ||||||
2 | educational and governmental
activities that are | ||||||
3 | intended to promote, encourage or otherwise secure
| ||||||
4 | compliance with any Illinois laws that prohibit the | ||||||
5 | sale or distribution of
tobacco products to minors; and
| ||||||
6 | (iv) the level of access and availability of | ||||||
7 | tobacco products to
individuals under the age of 18.
| ||||||
8 | To obtain the data necessary to comply with the | ||||||
9 | provisions of P.L. 102-321
and the requirements of this | ||||||
10 | report, the Commission shall conduct random,

13 | distributors.
| ||||||
14 | The Commission shall consult with the Department of | ||||||
15 | Public Health, the
Department of Human Services, the
| ||||||
16 | Illinois State Police and any
other executive branch | ||||||
17 | agency, and private organizations that may have
| ||||||
18 | information relevant to this report.
| ||||||
19 | The Commission may contract with the Food and Drug | ||||||
20 | Administration of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human | ||||||
21 | Services to conduct unannounced
investigations of Illinois | ||||||
22 | tobacco vendors to determine compliance with federal
laws | ||||||
23 | relating to the illegal sale of cigarettes and smokeless | ||||||
24 | tobacco products
to persons under the age of 18.
| ||||||
25 | (14) On or before April 30, 2008 and every 2 years
| ||||||
26 | thereafter, the Commission shall present a written
report |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to the Governor and the General Assembly that shall
be | ||||||
2 | based on a study of the impact of Public Act 95-634 on the | ||||||
3 | business of soliciting,
selling, and shipping wine from | ||||||
4 | inside and outside of this
State directly to residents of | ||||||
5 | this State. As part of its
report, the Commission shall | ||||||
6 | provide all of the
following information: | ||||||
7 | (A) The amount of State excise and sales tax
| ||||||
8 | revenues generated. | ||||||
9 | (B) The amount of licensing fees received. | ||||||

21 | notices and complaints of violations to law
| ||||||
22 | enforcement officials, including, without limitation,
| ||||||
23 | the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
| ||||||
24 | of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. | ||||||
25 | (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
| ||||||
26 | alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct
alcohol |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compliance operations to investigate whether
businesses | ||||||
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 Act to the Illinois Attorney General and
to the U.S. | ||||||
12 | Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade | ||||||
13 | 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 Act and annually produces less than 25,000 gallons of | ||||||
17 | wine or a person who has a first-class or second-class wine | ||||||
18 | manufacturer's license, a first-class or second-class | ||||||
19 | wine-maker's license, or a limited wine manufacturer's | ||||||
20 | license under this Act and annually produces less than | ||||||
21 | 25,000 gallons of wine may make application to the | ||||||
22 | Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the | ||||||
23 | sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption | ||||||
24 | holder's wine to retail licensees per year. | ||||||
25 | (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under | ||||||
26 | penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for | ||||||
2 | each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to | ||||||
3 | establish distributor relationships; (4) that a | ||||||
4 | self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the | ||||||
5 | marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the | ||||||
6 | liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State, | ||||||
7 | and any other state where it is licensed. | ||||||
8 | (C) The Commission shall approve the application for a | ||||||
9 | self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in | ||||||
10 | compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a | ||||||
11 | member of any affiliated group that produces more than | ||||||
12 | 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other | ||||||
13 | alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale | ||||||
14 | more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually | ||||||
15 | sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail | ||||||
16 | licensees. | ||||||
17 | (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall | ||||||
18 | annually certify to the Commission its production of wine | ||||||
19 | in the previous 12 months and its anticipated production | ||||||
20 | and sales for the next 12 months. The Commission may fine, | ||||||
21 | suspend, or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a | ||||||
22 | hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made a | ||||||
23 | material misrepresentation in its application, violated a | ||||||
24 | revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of | ||||||
25 | 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part | ||||||
26 | of an affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of wine or any other alcoholic liquor. | ||||||
2 | (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or | ||||||
3 | Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly | ||||||
4 | sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or its | ||||||
5 | agents, the Commission shall maintain the production and | ||||||
6 | sales information of a self-distribution exemption holder | ||||||
7 | as confidential and shall not release such information to | ||||||
8 | any person. | ||||||
9 | (F) The Commission shall issue regulations governing | ||||||
10 | self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Section | ||||||
11 | and this Act. | ||||||
12 | (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit a | ||||||
13 | self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or | ||||||
14 | simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a | ||||||
15 | licensed Illinois distributor. | ||||||
16 | (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to promote | ||||||
17 | and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds | ||||||
18 | that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory | ||||||
19 | distribution system it is necessary to create an exception | ||||||
20 | for smaller makers of wine as their wines are frequently | ||||||
21 | adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and taste to find | ||||||
22 | and create market niches sometimes too small for | ||||||
23 | distributor or importing distributor business strategies. | ||||||
24 | Limited self-distribution rights will afford and allow | ||||||
25 | smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace in order | ||||||
26 | to develop a customer base without impairing the integrity |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the 3-tier system.
| ||||||
2 | (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be | ||||||
3 | either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer | ||||||
4 | and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer, | ||||||
5 | may make application to the State Commission for a | ||||||
6 | self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more | ||||||
7 | than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer to | ||||||
8 | retail licensees per year. | ||||||
9 | (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under | ||||||
10 | penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state | ||||||
11 | (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer | ||||||
12 | manufactured and sold for each year since its | ||||||
13 | establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor | ||||||
14 | relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is | ||||||
15 | necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5) | ||||||
16 | that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue | ||||||
17 | laws of the United States, this State, and any other state | ||||||
18 | where it is licensed. | ||||||
19 | (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the | ||||||
20 | State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action | ||||||
21 | by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve | ||||||
22 | the application for a self-distribution exemption if the | ||||||
23 | class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the | ||||||
24 | State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a | ||||||
25 | member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than | ||||||
26 | 930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture | ||||||
2 | for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not | ||||||
3 | annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to | ||||||
4 | retail licensees; and (5) has relinquished any brew pub | ||||||
5 | license held by the licensee, including any ownership | ||||||
6 | interest it held in the licensed brew pub. | ||||||
7 | (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall | ||||||
8 | annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of | ||||||
9 | beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated | ||||||
10 | manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The | ||||||
11 | State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a | ||||||
12 | self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds | ||||||
13 | that the exemption holder has made a material | ||||||
14 | misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue | ||||||
15 | or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the | ||||||
16 | manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year | ||||||
17 | or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more | ||||||
18 | than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic | ||||||
19 | beverage. | ||||||
20 | (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and | ||||||
21 | regulations governing self-distribution exemptions | ||||||
22 | consistent with this Act. | ||||||
23 | (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a | ||||||
24 | self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or | ||||||
25 | simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a | ||||||
26 | licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a | ||||||
2 | distribution agreement and has assigned distribution | ||||||
3 | rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the | ||||||
4 | self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights | ||||||
5 | in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable | ||||||
6 | time not to exceed 60 days. | ||||||
7 | (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote | ||||||
8 | and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds | ||||||
9 | that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory | ||||||
10 | distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception | ||||||
11 | for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such | ||||||
12 | smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in | ||||||
13 | order to develop a customer base without impairing the | ||||||
14 | integrity of the 3-tier system. | ||||||
15 | (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall | ||||||
16 | present a written
report to the Governor and the General | ||||||
17 | Assembly that shall be based on a study
of the impact of Public | ||||||
18 | Act 90-739 on the business of soliciting,
selling, and shipping
| ||||||
19 | alcoholic liquor from outside of this State directly to | ||||||
20 | residents of this
State.
| ||||||
21 | As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the | ||||||
22 | following
information:
| ||||||
23 | (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues | ||||||
24 | generated as a
result of Public Act 90-739;
| ||||||
25 | (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result | ||||||
26 | of Public Act 90-739;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of | ||||||
2 | cease and desist
notices issued by the Commission, the | ||||||
3 | number of notices of violations issued
to the Department of | ||||||
4 | Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
| ||||||
5 | violations to law enforcement officials.
