IL HB2462

Creates a new retail wine shipper's license allowing out-of-state wine retailers and auction houses to ship wine directly to Illinois residents 21 years or older for personal consumption only.

Requires retail wine shippers to pay Illinois sales tax on all wine sold and shipped into the state, register for tax purposes, and maintain delivery confirmation records with purchaser signatures.

Mandates clear labeling on shipping containers stating "CONTAINS ALCOHOL. SIGNATURE OF A PERSON 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY" and requires age verification at delivery.

Establishes a $500 annual license fee for retail wine shippers and prohibits unlicensed direct shipment of alcohol into Illinois, with penalties ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 depending on offense number.

Declares the law's intent to conform Illinois regulations to the U.S. Supreme Court's Granholm v. Heald decision while maintaining the state's authority to control alcohol distribution and collect tax revenues.
