SSB 1089 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 clarifies Iowa's regulations for alcoholic beverage licenses and sales. It specifically defines "canned cocktail" and "mixed drink" (excluding those with alcohol) and allows businesses with certain licenses (like Class "C" or native wine licenses) to sell sealed mixed drinks without alcohol for off-premises consumption, provided they follow container rules. The bill also updates license fee structures for businesses located outside incorporated cities, requiring fees based on the nearest city's rates. These changes directly affect licensed alcohol retailers and distributors operating in Iowa.
