13    tobacco products to persons under the age of 18.
14        (14) On or before April 30, 2008 and every 2 years
15    thereafter, the Commission shall present a written report
16    to the Governor and the General Assembly that shall be
17    based on a study of the impact of Public Act 95-634 on the

11        enforcement officials, including, without limitation,
12        the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
13        of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
14        (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
15    alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct alcohol
16    compliance operations to investigate whether businesses
17    that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine from inside
18    or outside of this State directly to residents of this
19    State are licensed by this State or are selling or
20    attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in

1    Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
2    Bureau.
3        (17)(A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
4    of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
5    this Act and annually produces less than 25,000 gallons of
6    wine or a person who has a first-class or second-class wine
7    manufacturer's license, a first-class or second-class
8    wine-maker's license, or a limited wine manufacturer's
9    license under this Act and annually produces less than
10    25,000 gallons of wine may make application to the
11    Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the
12    sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption
13    holder's wine to retail licensees per year.
14        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
15    penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it
16    was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for
17    each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to
18    establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
19    self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
20    marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
21    liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
22    and any other state where it is licensed.
23        (C) The Commission shall approve the application for a
24    self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in
25    compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a
26    member of any affiliated group that produces more than

 

 

HB4297- 20 -LRB100 16754 RLC 31894 b

1    25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other
2    alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale
3    more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually
4    sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail
5    licensees.
6        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
7    annually certify to the Commission its production of wine
8    in the previous 12 months and its anticipated production
9    and sales for the next 12 months. The Commission may fine,
10    suspend, or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a
11    hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made a
12    material misrepresentation in its application, violated a
13    revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of
14    25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part
15    of an affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons
16    of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
17        (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
18    Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
19    sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or its
20    agents, the Commission shall maintain the production and
21    sales information of a self-distribution exemption holder
22    as confidential and shall not release such information to

HB4297- 21 -LRB100 16754 RLC 31894 b

1        (G) Nothing in this subsection (17) shall prohibit a
2    self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
3    simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
4    licensed Illinois distributor.
5        (H) It is the intent of this subsection (17) to promote
6    and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
7    that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
8    distribution system it is necessary to create an exception
9    for smaller makers of wine as their wines are frequently
10    adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and taste to find
11    and create market niches sometimes too small for
12    distributor or importing distributor business strategies.
13    Limited self-distribution rights will afford and allow
14    smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace in order
15    to develop a customer base without impairing the integrity
16    of the 3-tier system.
17        (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
18    either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
19    and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,
20    may make application to the State Commission for a
21    self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
22    than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer to
23    retail licensees per year.
24        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
25    penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state
26    (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer

 

 

HB4297- 22 -LRB100 16754 RLC 31894 b

1    manufactured and sold for each year since its
2    establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
3    relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
4    necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
5    that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue
6    laws of the United States, this State, and any other state
7    where it is licensed.
8        (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
9    State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
10    by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
11    the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
12    class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the
13    State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a
14    member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than
15    930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
16    alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture
17    for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not
18    annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to
19    retail licensees; and (5) has relinquished any brew pub
20    license held by the licensee, including any ownership
21    interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
22        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
23    annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
24    beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
25    manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
26    State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a

 

 

HB4297- 23 -LRB100 16754 RLC 31894 b

1    self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
2    that the exemption holder has made a material
3    misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
4    or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
5    manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year
6    or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more
7    than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic
8    beverage.
9        (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
10    regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
11    consistent with this Act.
12        (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
13    self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
14    simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
15    licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
16    If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
17    distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
18    rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the
19    self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights
20    in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable
21    time not to exceed 60 days.
22        (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
23    and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
24    that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
25    distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
26    for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such

 

 

HB4297- 24 -LRB100 16754 RLC 31894 b

1    smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in
2    order to develop a customer base without impairing the
3    integrity of the 3-tier system.
4    (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
5present a written report to the Governor and the General
6Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public
7Act 90-739 on the business of soliciting, selling, and shipping
8alcoholic liquor from outside of this State directly to
9residents of this State.
10    As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
11following information:
12        (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
13    generated as a result of Public Act 90-739;
14        (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result
15    of Public Act 90-739;
16        (iii) the number of reported violations, the number of
17    cease and desist notices issued by the Commission, the
18    number of notices of violations issued to the Department of
19    Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
20    violations to law enforcement officials.

17notice, unless the governing body of the municipality or county
18having jurisdiction sets a shorter period by ordinance.
19    (b) A local liquor control commission or unit of local

13    delinquency, and in the absence of objection made in open

11court may order the parent, guardian, or legal custodian of the
12minor to pay some or all of the fee on the minor's behalf.
13    (11) (Blank). If a minor is placed on supervision for a
14violation of subsection (a-7) of Section 1 of the Prevention of

7    be:
8            (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
9        released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
10        custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who

14            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
15        30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition

13        juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
14            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a

2    a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
3    include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
4    minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified
5    Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in
6    custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
7    guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
8    time spent in custody.

10    which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
11    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
12    Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the

16    Human Services.
17    (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
18Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
19supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
20protection under Section 5-730.
21    (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
22does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
23but is subject to modification until final closing and

3performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
4addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
5for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
6Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
7Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in

11in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
12as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved
13the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
14driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
15Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
16which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
17time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
18license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
19not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
2018th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit

2    Section 45. The Smokeless Tobacco Limitation Act is
3repealed.
 
4    Section 50. The Tobacco Accessories and Smoking Herbs
5Control Act is amended by changing Sections 2 and 4 as follows:
 
6    (720 ILCS 685/2)  (from Ch. 23, par. 2358-2)
7    Sec. 2. Purpose. The sale and possession of marijuana,
8hashish, cocaine, opium and their derivatives, is not only
9prohibited by Illinois Law, but the use of these substances has
10been deemed injurious to the health of the user.
11    It has further been determined by the Surgeon General of
12the United States that the use of tobacco is hazardous to human
13health.
14    The ready availability of smoking herbs to persons under 21
15years of age minors could lead to the use of tobacco and
16illegal drugs.
17    It is in the best interests of the citizens of the State of
18Illinois to seek to prohibit the spread of illegal drugs,
19tobacco or smoking materials to persons under 21 years of age
20minors. The prohibition of the sale of tobacco and snuff
21accessories and smoking herbs to persons under 21 years of age
22minors would help to curb the usage of illegal drugs and
23tobacco products, among our youth.
