Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes. In provisions concerning social media advertising, requires the social media advertisement to comply with any applicable rules or regulations (instead of guidance) issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury. Provides that nothing in certain provisions shall prohibit a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor from sharing, reposting, or otherwise forwarding a social media post by a retail licensee if the social media post does not contain the retail price of any alcoholic liquor. Prohibits a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor from paying or reimbursing a retailer, directly or indirectly, for social media advertising services, except as specifically permitted in the Act, and prohibits a retailer from accepting any payment or reimbursement for any social media advertisement services offered by a manufacturer, distributor, or importing distributor, except as specifically permitted in the Act. Authorizes the sale of alcoholic liquor at a specific full-service grocery store within 100 feet of a church and school located in the City of Chicago. Further amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Establishes a class 2 brewer license for a person who is a holder of a brewer license or non-resident dealer license who manufactures up to 3,720,000 gallons of beer per year for sale to a licensed importing distributor or distributor. Establishes a $25 fee for a class 2 brewer license. Changes the name of the craft brewer license to class 1 brewer license and makes conforming changes. Prohibits a class 1 brewer licensee from being a member of or affiliated with, directly or indirectly, a manufacturer that produces more than 930,000 gallons of beer per year or any other alcoholic liquor. Increases the amount of beer that a brew pub may sell for off-premises consumption to 155,000 gallons per year (instead of 50,000 gallons per year). In a provision concerning approval for a self-distribution exemption for a class 1 brewer licensee, adds a requirement that the class 1 brewer licensee must relinquish any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any ownership interest held in the licensed brew pub. Makes other changes in provisions concerning brew pubs. Removes a provision that permits a person licensed as a manufacturer to receive one retailer's license for the sale of beer on the premises. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Deletes reference to:
235 ILCS 5/6-11
