PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 123.24, Code 1995, is amended by adding 1 2 the following new subsection: 1 3 NEW SUBSECTION. 6. a. A class "E" liquor control 1 4 licensee shall not sell or offer for sale an alcoholic liquor 1 5 product for an amount less than the current published price of 1 6 the alcoholic liquor product to the class "E" liquor control 1 7 licensee plus ten percent of the current published price. 1 8 b. As used in this subsection, "current published price" 1 9 means the sale price at which the division sells an alcoholic 1 10 liquor product to a liquor control licensee. If the sale 1 11 price of an alcoholic liquor product from the division 1 12 changes, the new current published price takes effect on the 1 13 date announced by the division. 1 14 c. The division shall furnish notification of price 1 15 changes to all class "E" license holders at least fifteen days 1 16 before the effective date of a price change. 1 17 d. Paragraph "a" shall not apply to the following sales: 1 18 (1) An alcoholic liquor product sold during a bona fide 1 19 clearance sale which only includes inventory possessed at the 1 20 commencement of the sale and only if the same product is not 1 21 purchased by the licensee for one year after the conclusion of 1 22 the sale. 1 23 (2) An alcoholic liquor product sold during a final 1 24 liquidation of the business of an alcoholic liquor licensee. 1 25 (3) An alcoholic liquor product sold to a nonprofit 1 26 charitable organization. 1 27 (4) An alcoholic liquor product sold pursuant to a state 1 28 or federal court order. 1 29 e. A class "E" liquor control licensee who violates this 1 30 subsection is guilty of a serious misdemeanor pursuant to 1 31 section 123.90. 1 32 f. In addition to the criminal penalty imposed upon 1 33 conviction under paragraph "e", the administrator: 1 34 (1) Shall impose a civil penalty of not more than one 1 35 thousand dollars for the first offense, and may suspend the 2 1 class "E" liquor control license for a period of time 2 2 determined by the administrator, and may recover the costs of 2 3 investigation. 2 4 (2) Shall impose a civil penalty of not more than two 2 5 thousand dollars for the second violation, and may suspend the 2 6 class "E" liquor control license for a period of time 2 7 determined by the administrator, and may recover the costs of 2 8 investigation. 2 9 (3) Shall impose a civil penalty of not more than three 2 10 thousand dollars for the third violation, and may suspend the 2 11 class "E" liquor control license for a period of time 2 12 determined by the administrator, and may recover the costs of 2 13 investigation. 2 14 EXPLANATION 2 15 This bill requires a class "E" liquor control licensee to 2 16 sell or offer for sale an alcoholic liquor product with a 2 17 minimum markup of 10 percent above the current published price 2 18 of the liquor product to the licensee. If the price of a 2 19 liquor product sold by the division changes, the new price 2 20 becomes the current published price of the product after the 2 21 affected licensees have been given 15 days' notice of the new 2 22 cost. Exceptions to the markup of 10 percent include liquor 2 23 sold during a bona fide clearance sale, liquor sold during a 2 24 final liquidation of a liquor business, liquor sold to a 2 25 nonprofit charitable organization, and liquor sold pursuant to 2 26 a federal or state court order. 2 27 A class "E" liquor control licensee violating the minimum 2 28 markup is guilty of a serious misdemeanor. A civil penalty of 2 29 up to $1,000 shall also be imposed for the first offense, up 2 30 to $2,000 for the second offense, and up to $3,000 for the 2 31 third offense. The administrator may also suspend the 2 32 violator's liquor control license for a period of time as 2 33 determined by the administrator and may recover the costs of 2 34 investigation. 2 35 LSB 2019SC 76 3 1 tj/jj/8
