HF 93 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to noncontiguous locations of the premises of a native distillery.

This bill expands Iowa's definition of "premises" for native distilleries to include separate locations not physically connected. It allows distilleries to operate sites across public roads, waterways, or rights-of-way, or use additional warehouses elsewhere, all requiring approval from the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. This directly affects Iowa native distilleries seeking to operate multiple noncontiguous sites without contiguous land ownership. Current law requires all licensed areas to be physically connected within a single building or contiguous grounds.
