A bill for an act relating to alcoholic beverage control, including certificates of compliance and the issuance of class “A” wine permits to nonnative wine manufacturers, and providing fees.

This bill changes Iowa's alcohol regulations to allow out-of-state wineries to obtain state wine permits without needing to be Iowa residents. Specifically, it removes residency requirements for "nonnative wine manufacturers" (wineries operating outside Iowa but licensed in their home state) seeking a class "A" wine permit. These out-of-state wineries can now sell their own wine in Iowa, provided it's registered with federal authorities, but cannot sell wine made by other manufacturers. The bill also adds requirements for these permit holders to allow state audits and comply with distribution rules.
