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

This bill (SF 245) allows Iowa-based alcoholic beverage manufacturers (like distilleries) to ship products directly to consumers within Iowa, subject to specific rules. Manufacturers must obtain a new "direct shipper license" ($25 fee), ship only to residents aged 21+ for personal use (not resale), and comply with volume limits (e.g., up to 9 liters annually per customer if producing over 150,000 proof gallons yearly). Shipments require federal registration, special labeling ("SIGNATURE OF PERSON AGE 21+ REQUIRED"), and must be delivered by licensed carriers. Manufacturers must also pay Iowa a 50% fee on the wholesale price of shipped products. The bill does not affect existing retail sales or delivery by licensed stores.
