SF 387 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to alcoholic beverages, including license authorizations and fee determinations, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

This bill updates Iowa's alcohol licensing rules for businesses. It clarifies that mixed drinks or cocktails without alcoholic liquor (like non-alcoholic options) can be sold in sealed containers for off-premise consumption, provided they're filled immediately on-site and remain unopened. The bill also adjusts license fee calculations for businesses outside city limits, requiring fees based on the nearest incorporated city's rates. These changes primarily affect restaurants and retailers holding special class "C" or native wine licenses.
