]]]] LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF IDAHO ]]]] Fifty-eighth Legislature First Regular Session - 2005IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HOUSE BILL NO. 59 BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE 1 AN ACT 2 RELATING TO THE SALE OF WINE; AMENDING SECTION 23-1327, IDAHO CODE, TO REMOVE 3 THE REQUIREMENT THAT A DISTRIBUTOR MAY ONLY SELL OR DELIVER WINE TO A 4 RETAILER IN CASE LOTS. 5 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho: 6 SECTION 1. That Section 23-1327, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby 7 amended to read as follows: 8 23-1327.QUANTITY OFSALESOF WINE IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER AND SIZE OF CON- 9 TAINERS.No distributor shall sell or deliver wine to a retailer of a quantity10less than a case lot. For purposes of this section, a "case lot" shall mean11that quantity of containers of equal size containing wine which are equal to12the smallest unit or quantity of containers of wine received by a distributor13from an importer. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit a distribu-14tor from mixing brands or types of wine to make up a case lot for purposes of15sale or distribution to the retailer.No distributor shall purchase, receive, 16 or sell any wine except in the original container as prepared for the market 17 by the importer or manufacturer. No importer or distributor shall, without 18 permission of the director, adopt or use any container for winewhichthat 19 will contain in excess of one (1) gallon of wine.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 14728 The proposal removes a statutory requirement that wine distributors may only sell wine in full case lots, made up of wine containers of equal size. Although the distributor may mix brands or types of wine to make up a full case lot, the current law requires a retailer to purchase wine the retailer may not want, in order to acquire the wine the retailer wants or needs for the retailer's business. This proposal will remove unnecessary requirement. FISCAL NOTE There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund.
