Introduced Text

SB1618 amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934 to create new licenses and permits for alcohol distribution and sale.

SB1618 introduces new licenses and permits for alcohol distribution and sale in Illinois. It creates a distillery shipper's license, a class 3 craft distiller license, and a spirits showcase permit. The distillery shipper's license allows for the shipment of spirits for personal use, while the class 3 craft distiller license permits the manufacture of up to 100,000 gallons of spirits per year. The spirits showcase permit allows an Illinois-licensed distributor to transfer spirits inventory to specified premises.
