authorize the shipment of distilled spirits directly to consumers, and to provide a penalty therefor.
This bill allows distilleries (both within and outside South Dakota) to ship distilled spirits directly to consumers in the state, subject to specific rules. Distilleries must obtain a license ($100 fee), verify customers are 21+ using photo ID or a verification service, and record customer details before shipping. It limits shipments to 12 liters per customer annually and 60,000 liters total per distillery per year. Violations - such as shipping without age verification or exceeding limits - result in civil penalties of $1,000 for a first offense and $2,000 for repeat offenses.
