EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act takes effect January 1, 14 2023. 15 EXPLANATION 16 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 17 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 18 This bill relates to alcoholic beverage control. The bill is 19 organized by divisions. 20 DIVISION I —— RETAIL ALCOHOL LICENSES. Code section 123.30, 21 establishing liquor control licenses, is stricken and rewritten 22 by the bill. The bill replaces liquor control licenses with 23 retail alcohol licenses and modifies the classes within the 24 new category of retail alcohol licenses. The current class 25 “A” liquor control license and class “D” liquor control 26 license are renamed a class “F” and a class “D” retail alcohol 27 license, respectively. The current class “B” liquor control 28 license that may be issued to a hotel or motel is eliminated. 29 Instead, the bill establishes a new class “B” retail alcohol 30 license and special class “B” retail alcohol license. The 31 new class “B” retail alcohol license allows the holder to 32 purchase wine from a class “A” wine permittee and beer from a 33 class “A” beer permittee and to sell wine and beer in original 34 unopened containers at retail to patrons for consumption off 35 -68- LSB 5045SV (1) 89 ec/rn 68/ 77
S.F. 2350 the licensed premises. The bill also allows a holder of the 1 new class “B” retail alcohol license to sell wine in limited 2 quantities to class “C”, special class “C”, class “D”, and 3 class “F” retail alcohol licensees for resale for consumption 4 on the premises. This new license combines, in part, the 5 authority granted under the current class “C” beer permit for 6 beer and the class “B” wine permit for wine. The new special 7 class “B” retail native wine license authorizes the holder to 8 purchase wine from a native winery holding a class “A” wine 9 permit and to sell native wine only at retail for consumption 10 off the licensed premises. The authority under this new 11 special class “B” retail alcohol license is similar to the 12 authority granted a holder of a current class “B” native wine 13 permit. The current class “C” and special class “C” liquor 14 control licenses are renamed as class “C” and special class “C” 15 retail alcohol licenses. The current special class “C” native 16 distilled spirits liquor control license is repealed. Finally, 17 the current class “E” liquor control license is renamed a class 18 “E” retail alcohol license. In addition, the bill provides 19 that a class “E” retail alcohol licensee can purchase wine and 20 beer from a class “A” wine or beer permittee, respectively. 21 The bill specifically allows the class “E” licensee to sell 22 wine and beer in unopened containers at retail, and to sell 23 alcoholic liquor and high alcoholic content beer at wholesale. 24 Code section 123.131, providing for liquor control license 25 applications, is stricken and rewritten by the bill. Existing 26 application requirements for liquor control licenses are made 27 applicable to retail alcohol licenses established by the bill. 28 In addition, requirements for issuance of a current class “B” 29 beer permit, class “C” beer permit, and retail wine permit 30 are generally made applicable to issuance of a retail alcohol 31 license. 32 New Code section 123.31A establishes the authority granted 33 a holder of a new class “B”, class “C”, special class “C”, 34 and class “E” retail alcohol license. The authority granted 35 -69- LSB 5045SV (1) 89 ec/rn 69/ 77
S.F. 2350 a holder of these licenses as to both wine and beer is similar 1 to the authority granted current holders of a class “B” beer 2 permit, class “C” beer permit, and class “B” wine permit, 3 to include sales of beer or wine in other than the original 4 container. The new Code section provides that a holder of 5 a new class “C” or special class “C” retail alcohol license 6 cannot sell beer or wine to other retail alcohol license 7 holders. The bill also provides, similarly to current Code 8 section 123.181(1), that a holder of any retail alcohol permit 9 shall not sell wine except wine purchased from a person holding 10 a class “A” permit or native wine manufacturer. 11 New Code section 123.31B establishes the authority granted a 12 holder of a new special class “B” retail native wine license. 13 The authority granted a holder of this new license is similar 14 to the authority granted a holder of a current class “B” native 15 wine permit. 16 With the authority granted retail alcohol licensees 17 regarding beer, the current class “B” and class “C” beer 18 permits are repealed. As a result, the division repeals, as 19 to beer permits, Code section 123.138, providing for class 20 “B” beer permit applications, Code section 123.129, providing 21 for class “C” beer permit applications, Code section 123.131, 22 concerning authority under a class “B” beer permit, Code 23 section 123.132, concerning authority under a class “C” beer 24 permit, and Code section 123.140, concerning separate locations 25 for class “B” or class “C” beer permits. In addition, based 26 on the authority granted the new retail licenses regarding 27 wine, the current class “B” wine, class “B” native wine, and 28 class “C” native wine permits are repealed. As a result, the 29 division repeals, as to wine permits, Code section 123.178, 30 concerning authority under a class “B” wine permit, Code 31 section 123.178A, concerning authority under a class “B” native 32 wine permit, and Code section 123.178B, concerning authority 33 under a class “C” native wine permit. 34 DIVISION II —— ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL FEES. This 35 -70- LSB 5045SV (1) 89 ec/rn 70/ 77
S.F. 2350 division concerns fees for the new retail alcohol licenses as 1 well as changes to fees for other licenses and permits in Code 2 chapter 123. 3 Code section 123.23, concerning the distiller’s certificate 4 of compliance, is amended to increase the annual fee for the 5 certificate from $50 to $200. 6 Code section 123.36, concerning liquor control license 7 fees, is stricken and rewritten and made applicable to the new 8 retail alcohol licenses. The current fees for a class “A” 9 liquor control licensee are made applicable to the new class 10 “F” retail alcohol license. The current fees for a class 11 “B” liquor control license are repealed. Instead, the bill 12 establishes fees for the new class “B” retail alcohol license 13 based on the population of the city where the premises is 14 located as well as the square footage of the licensed premises. 15 The fee for the new special class “B” native wine license is 16 $125, an increase from the fee for a current class “B” native 17 wine permit of $25.
