Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                              RS 11728

This legislation repeals the section of Idaho Code which allows the 
interstate shipment of wine products through the mail.  Various 
states have entered into reciprocal agreements with Idaho.  The 
law has created widespread abuse by non-Idaho wineries selling 
wine products through the mail, telephone, and over the Internet.  
As a result, minors have easier access to these products, and the 
State of Idaho loses revenues as the excise and sales taxes on these 
products are not being reported or paid to the Idaho State Tax 
Commission.

Mail order and Internet sales of distilled spirits and beer products 
are not allowed under current Idaho Code.  The repeal of this 
legislation will make Idaho policy consistent on mail and Internet 
orders of alcoholic beverages.


                          FISCAL IMPACT
There is no negative fiscal impact.
