HOUSE FILE 2315 - Reciprocal Shipment of Wines (full text of bill)

BY TYRRELL. This Act provides that a winery licensed or permitted pursuant to laws regulating alcoholic beverages in a state which affords the state of Iowa an equal reciprocal shipping privilege may ship into the state of Iowa by private common carrier, to a person 21 years of age or older, not more than 18 liters of wine per month for consumption or use by the person. The wine shall not be resold. Shipment of wine pursuant to this Act is not subject to state of Iowa sales tax, use tax, or the wine gallonage tax and does not require a refund value for beverage container control purposes.
The Act provides that the holder of a class "A" or "B" wine permit in the state of Iowa may ship out of the state of Iowa by private common carrier, to a person 21 years of age or older, not more than 18 liters of wine per month for consumption or use by the person.
An equal reciprocal shipping privilege means allowing wineries located in the state of Iowa to ship wine into another state, not for resale but for consumption or use by a person 21 years of age or older.
The Act provides that a private common carrier be used in shipping wine into or out of the state of Iowa. The United States Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1716, prohibits alcoholic beverages from being shipped via the United States Postal Service.
