19direct shipper permit.
20Code section 123.46A, concerning delivery of alcoholic

26stickers, is amended to provide for a keg identification label

28concerning the forfeiture and remittance of deposits relating

31permit, is amended to remove the requirement that an
32application for the permit be accompanied by a bond if not
33otherwise required to submit a bond as a wine manufacturer.
34Division II of the bill relates to the renewal of certain
35licenses, permits, and certificates of compliance.
-19- 1Code section 123.34, subsection 1, providing generally
2for the expiration of licenses, permits, and certificates of
3compliance one year from the date of issuance, and including a
4notification requirement by the administrator of the alcoholic
5beverage division prior to expiration, is stricken.
6New Code section 123.35 includes the provision from
7current Code section 123.34 providing for the expiration of
8licenses, permits, and certificates of compliance without
9the notification requirement. The new Code section further
10provides, notwithstanding any provision of Code chapter 123

12liquor control license, a distiller’s, vintner’s, or brewer’s
13certificate of compliance, and a wine direct shipper’s
14permit. The bill allows the renewal of the applicable license,
15certificate, or permit without approval by the administrator
16of the alcoholic beverages division or endorsement of any
17applicable local authority upon collection of the annual fee
18for that license, certificate, or permit by the alcoholic
19beverages division, provided certain conditions are met since

35building-related regulations.
-20- 1This division of the bill takes effect January 1, 2023.
2Division III of the bill relates to the distribution of
3certain alcoholic beverage control revenues.
4Code section 123.17, concerning transfers from the beer
5and liquor control fund, is amended. The bill provides that

25local authority’s jurisdiction. The bill further eliminates
26the requirement that retail beer permit fees collected by the
27local authority be transferred as provided in Code section
28125.59.
29Code section 123.97, providing that most revenues arising
30under the operation of Code chapter 123 become part of the
31general fund of the state, is repealed as inconsistent with the
32provisions of current Code section 123.17.
33This division of the bill takes effect January 1, 2023.

35licenses.

6containers at retail, and to sell alcoholic liquor and high
7alcoholic content beer at wholesale. The bill strikes a

21where the premises is located.

23strike provisions granting the authority, and requiring certain
24reports, relating to a class “E” liquor control licensee that

32seasonal license or permit and provides that the fee for an
33eight-month seasonal license or permit shall be 50 percent of

35instead of a proportional share of that fee.

2spirits, and wine auction permit, and Code section 123.173B,
3providing for a charity beer, spirits, and wine event permit,

9The bill only allows one charity auction, charity event, or
10combined charity auction and charity event, to be conducted
11during the period of the permit and limits a person to no more
12than two special event permits in a calendar year.
13This division of the bill takes effect January 1, 2023.

18stickers, deliveries of alcoholic beverages, and the wine
19direct shipper permit.
20Code section 123.46A, concerning delivery of alcoholic
21beverages by retailers, is amended to provide that deliveries
22shall occur on the same day the order for delivery of alcoholic
23beverages is removed from the licensed premises of the
24retailer.
25Code section 123.138, concerning keg identification
26stickers, is amended to provide for a keg identification label
27instead of a sticker. In addition, the bill strikes provisions
28concerning the forfeiture and remittance of deposits relating

30Code section 123.187, concerning the wine direct shipper
31permit, is amended to remove the requirement that an
32application for the permit be accompanied by a bond if not
33otherwise required to submit a bond as a wine manufacturer.
34Division II of the bill relates to the renewal of certain
35licenses, permits, and certificates of compliance.
-19- 1Code section 123.34, subsection 1, providing generally
2for the expiration of licenses, permits, and certificates of
3compliance one year from the date of issuance, and including a
4notification requirement by the administrator of the alcoholic
5beverage division prior to expiration, is stricken.
6New Code section 123.35 includes the provision from
7current Code section 123.34 providing for the expiration of
8licenses, permits, and certificates of compliance without
9the notification requirement. The new Code section further
10provides, notwithstanding any provision of Code chapter 123
11to the contrary, for the automatic renewal of a class “E”
12liquor control license, a distiller’s, vintner’s, or brewer’s
13certificate of compliance, and a wine direct shipper’s
14permit. The bill allows the renewal of the applicable license,
15certificate, or permit without approval by the administrator
16of the alcoholic beverages division or endorsement of any
17applicable local authority upon collection of the annual fee
18for that license, certificate, or permit by the alcoholic
19beverages division, provided certain conditions are met since
20the preceding license, certificate, or permit was issued. The
21bill provides that the license, certificate, or permit can be
22automatically renewed if, in the preceding year, the license,
23certificate, or permit has not been suspended or revoked,
24a civil penalty has not been imposed, an administrative
25proceeding is not pending to suspend or revoke the license,
26certificate, or permit or to impose a civil penalty, all
27required payments to the division have been made, and the
28licensee, certificate holder, or permittee, and all persons
29associated with the licensee, certificate holder, or permittee
30as described in Code section 123.3, subsection 40, paragraph
31“e”, have not been convicted of a violation of Code chapter
32123. In addition, for renewal of a class “E” liquor control
33license, the licensed premises shall constitute a safe and
34proper place and building that complies with all applicable
35building-related regulations.
-20- 1This division of the bill takes effect January 1, 2023.
2Division III of the bill relates to the distribution of
3certain alcoholic beverage control revenues.
4Code section 123.17, concerning transfers from the beer

6of the moneys transferred to a special revenue account in the
7general fund of the state from the beer and liquor control
8fund, $1 million, plus any additional amount as determined by
9the general assembly, shall be appropriated to the department
10of public health to be distributed as provided in Code section
11125.59 as grants to counties, persons, or nonprofit entities
12for substance abuse and prevention programs. Code section

14shall be transferred to the department of public health for the
15purposes of Code section 125.59.
16Code section 123.143, concerning distribution of certain
17beer permit fees, is amended. The bill provides that all

22beverages division, the division shall remit to the applicable
23local authority a sum of money equal to the retail beer permit
24fees collected by the division covering premises covered by the
25local authority’s jurisdiction. The bill further eliminates
26the requirement that retail beer permit fees collected by the
27local authority be transferred as provided in Code section
28125.59.
29Code section 123.97, providing that most revenues arising
30under the operation of Code chapter 123 become part of the
31general fund of the state, is repealed as inconsistent with the
32provisions of current Code section 123.17.

23strike provisions granting the authority, and requiring certain
