HF 761 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for the direct shipment of alcoholic liquor, providing fees, and including effective date provisions.

HF 761 allows alcohol manufacturers licensed in Iowa or another state to ship alcoholic beverages directly to Iowa residents who are 21+ for personal use. To do this, manufacturers must obtain a new "alcoholic liquor direct shipper license" ($25 fee) and comply with strict limits: shipping no more than 9 liters per person annually if producing over 150,000 proof gallons nationally, or up to 150,000 gallons per year for smaller producers. The bill requires proper labeling ("CONTAINS ALCOHOL: SIGNATURE OF PERSON AGE 21+ REQUIRED"), registration with Iowa’s department, and shipping through licensed carriers. Manufacturers must also pay a 50% fee on the wholesale price of shipped alcohol to the state.
