(3) the date and address of the shipment.
If the Department of Revenue or the State Commission requests a
statement under this paragraph, the third-party provider must
provide that statement no later than 30 days after the request
is made. Any books, records, supporting papers, and documents
containing information and data relating to a statement under
this paragraph shall be kept and preserved for a period of 3
years, unless their destruction sooner is authorized, in
writing, by the Director of Revenue, and shall be open and
available to inspection by the Director of Revenue or the State
Commission or any duly authorized officer, agent, or employee
of the State Commission or the Department of Revenue, at all
times during business hours of the day. Any person who violates
any provision of this paragraph or any rule of the State
Commission for the administration and enforcement of the
provisions of this paragraph is guilty of a Class C
misdemeanor. In case of a continuing violation, each day's
continuance thereof shall be a separate and distinct offense.
The State Commission shall adopt rules as soon as
practicable to implement the requirements of Public Act 99-904
and shall adopt rules prohibiting any such third-party
appointment of a third-party provider, except for a common

carrier, that has been deemed by the State Commission to have
violated the provisions of this Act with regard to any winery
shipper licensee.
A winery shipper licensee must pay to the Department of
Revenue the State liquor gallonage tax under Section 8-1 for
all wine that is sold by the licensee and shipped to a person
in this State. For the purposes of Section 8-1, a winery
shipper licensee shall be taxed in the same manner as a
manufacturer of wine. A licensee who is not otherwise required
to register under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act must
register under the Use Tax Act to collect and remit use tax to
the Department of Revenue for all gallons of wine that are sold
by the licensee and shipped to persons in this State. If a
licensee fails to remit the tax imposed under this Act in
accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of this Act, the
winery shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance with
the provisions of Article VII of this Act. If a licensee fails
to properly register and remit tax under the Use Tax Act or the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act for all wine that is sold by the
winery shipper and shipped to persons in this State, the winery
shipper's license shall be revoked in accordance with the
provisions of Article VII of this Act.
A winery shipper licensee must collect, maintain, and
submit to the Commission on a semi-annual basis the total
number of cases per resident of wine shipped to residents of
this State. A winery shipper licensed under this subsection (r)

must comply with the requirements of Section 6-29 of this Act.
Pursuant to paragraph (5.1) or (5.3) of subsection (a) of
Section 3-12, the State Commission may receive, respond to, and
investigate any complaint and impose any of the remedies
specified in paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 3-12.
As used in this subsection, "third-party provider" means
any entity that provides fulfillment house services, including
warehousing, packaging, distribution, order processing, or
shipment of wine, but not the sale of wine, on behalf of a
licensed winery shipper.
(s) A craft distiller tasting permit license shall allow an
Illinois licensed craft distiller to transfer a portion of its
alcoholic liquor inventory from its craft distiller licensed
premises to the premises specified in the license hereby
created and to conduct a sampling, only in the premises
specified in the license hereby created, of the transferred
alcoholic liquor in accordance with subsection (c) of Section
6-31 of this Act. The transferred alcoholic liquor may not be
sold or resold in any form. An applicant for the craft
distiller tasting permit license must also submit with the
application proof satisfactory to the State Commission that the
applicant will provide dram shop liability insurance to the
maximum limits and have local authority approval.
A brewer warehouse permit may be issued to the holder of a
class 1 brewer license or a class 2 brewer license. If the
holder of the permit is a class 1 brewer licensee, the brewer

warehouse permit shall allow the holder to store or warehouse
up to 930,000 gallons of tax-determined beer manufactured by
the holder of the permit at the premises specified on the
permit. If the holder of the permit is a class 2 brewer
licensee, the brewer warehouse permit shall allow the holder to

manufacturer, distributor or importing distributor, furnish,
give, lend or rent, install, repair or maintain, to or for any
retail licensee in this State, any signs or inside advertising
materials except as provided in this Section and Section 6-5.
With respect to retail licensees, other than any government
owned or operated auditorium, exhibition hall, recreation
facility or other similar facility holding a retailer's license
as described in Section 6-5, a manufacturer, distributor, or
importing distributor may furnish, give, lend or rent and
erect, install, repair and maintain to or for any retail
licensee, for use at any one time in or about or in connection
with a retail establishment on which the products of the
manufacturer, distributor or importing distributor are sold,

the following signs and inside advertising materials as
authorized in subparts (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv):
(i) Permanent outside signs shall cost not more than
$3,000 per manufacturer, exclusive of erection,
installation, repair and maintenance costs, and permit
fees and shall bear only the manufacturer's name, brand
name, trade name, slogans, markings, trademark, or other
symbols commonly associated with and generally used in
identifying the product including, but not limited to,
"cold beer", "on tap", "carry out", and "packaged liquor".
(ii) Temporary outside signs shall include, but not be
limited to, banners, flags, pennants, streamers, and other
items of a temporary and non-permanent nature, and shall
cost not more than $1,000 per manufacturer. Each temporary

outside sign is intended to promote a product, and provided
that the announcement of the retail licensee's event and
the product promotion are held simultaneously. However,
temporary outside signs may not include names, slogans,
markings, or logos that relate to the retailer. Nothing in

this subpart (ii) shall prohibit a distributor or importing
distributor from bearing the cost of creating or printing a
temporary outside sign for the retail licensee's specific
sponsored event or from bearing the cost of creating or
printing a temporary sign for a retail licensee containing,
for example, community goodwill expressions, regional

provided that the primary purpose of the temporary outside
sign is to highlight, promote, or advertise the product. In
addition, temporary outside signs provided by the
manufacturer to the distributor or importing distributor
may also include, for example, subject to the limitations
of this Section, preprinted community goodwill
expressions, sporting event announcements, seasonal
messages, and manufacturer promotional announcements.
However, a distributor or importing distributor shall not
bear the cost of such manufacturer preprinted signs.

alcoholic beverages; however, such items, for example, as
coasters, trays, napkins, glassware, growlers, crowlers,
and cups shall not be deemed to be inside signs or
advertising materials and may only be sold to retailers at

fair market value, which shall be no less than the cost of
the item to the manufacturer, distributor, or importing
distributor. All temporary inside signs and inside
advertising materials in place and in use at any one time
shall cost in the aggregate not more than $1,000 per
manufacturer. Nothing in this subpart (iv) prohibits a
distributor or importing distributor from paying the cost

exercising powers provided in paragraph (i) of Section 5-1 of
