ILLINOIS SHIPPING BILL FINALLY SIGNED INTO LAW
Gov. Blagojevish of Illinois finally signed HB 429 into law yesterday, October 3. We say finally only because it’s been a long and tough process to make any decision in that state. The new law will not take effect until June 1.
Under HB 429, wineries are permitted to ship up to 12 cases to an individual annually after obtaining a shipping license. Winery orders may be placed via internet and/or phone. In addition, it allows small wineries both in-state and out-of-state that produces less than 25,000 gallons of wine annually to sell up to 5,000 gallons a year to in-state retailers. In-state retailers also retain the ability to ship directly to consumers, but the proposal bars out-of-state retailers from doing the same thing.
