HB 16-1271 Summary

• Amends Colorado law to authorize limited wineries with a winery direct shipper's permit to deliver vinous liquors directly to personal consumers without using a common carrier.

• Allows direct delivery by the limited winery licensee itself while still maintaining compliance with all requirements in Section 12-47-104.

• Previously, sales to personal consumers could only be delivered by common carrier; this bill adds an alternative delivery method.

• Takes effect on August 10, 2016 (or 90 days after final adjournment of the 2016 general assembly), subject to potential referendum petition and voter approval in November 2016.
