Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(235 ILCS 5/8-10.5) Sec. 8-10.5. Beer production quantity reporting. (a) As used in this Section: "Directly" means that a licensed distributor was not used in the transaction. "Final packaging container" means the last vessel in which beer is held before (i) consumption by an individual on the brewer's licensed premises; (ii) being placed in a keg, bottle, or can for consumption by an individual; or (iii) being removed for additional fermentation and aging in a cask or barrel. (b) A brewer who is a class 1 brewer, class 2 brewer, class 3 brewer, or brew pub licensee shall accurately measure the quantity of beer transferred into its final packaging container to determine the brewer's tax liability by converting beer production into the amount of beer sold and to ensure compliance with any production or self-distribution quantity limitations under this Act applicable to the class 1 brewer, class 2 brewer, class 3 brewer, or brew pub. The measurement shall comply with 27 CFR 25.41 and 27 CFR 25.42. Any brewer subject to this Section shall file, on the same date as the brewer files similar reports with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Tobacco and Alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau, with the Department and State Commission a report of their use of water along with their "Brewer's Report of Operations" filed with the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and shall maintain and produce for examination and inspection by the Department and the State Commission utility bills for water for 3 years along with their "Brewer's Report of Operations" filed with the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The Department, in cooperation with the State Commission, may audit on an annual basis the amount a class 1 brewer, class 2 brewer, class 3 brewer, or brew pub licensee produces to determine compliance with this Act. (c) A brewer's failure to comply with this Section shall result in the State Commission issuing a fine or suspending or revoking the brewer's license.
