This bill establishes a framework to permit direct shipment of distilled spirits by craft distilleries to consumers across state lines. It outlines several conditions for such shipments, including verifying the purchaser's legal age through identification or affirmation, marking shipping containers to indicate alcohol content and require an adult signature upon delivery, and ensuring the spirits are for personal use only. Furthermore, direct shipments are only allowed if both the state from which the distilled spirit is shipped and the state into which it is shipped explicitly permit such transactions. The legislation defines a craft distillery as an independently owned producer distilling not more than 250,000 gallons of distilled spirits annually. Violations of these conditions may result in civil actions brought by state attorneys general, mirroring enforcement provisions of the Webb-Kenyon Act.
