A bill for an act concerning the wholesale price of alcoholic liquor offered for sale by the department of revenue.

HF 830 sets a minimum price for alcoholic liquor sold by Iowa's Department of Revenue to retail licensees. It requires the department to use the higher of either the manufacturer's price, the wholesale price paid by the department, or a new minimum unit price of 50 cents per 18 milliliters of alcohol. This minimum unit price calculation overrides the existing 50% markup rule when it results in a higher price. The bill directly affects the Department of Revenue (the state's sole alcohol wholesaler) and Class "E" retail licensees who purchase alcohol for resale.
