HB 1476 Arkansas House · 2025 Regular Session

TO AMEND THE DIRECT SHIPMENT OF VINOUS LIQUOR ACT; AND TO ESTABLISH A WINE DIRECT SHIPPER LICENSE.

HB 1476, now Act 675, amends the Direct Shipment of Vinous Liquor Act and establishes a Wine Direct Shipper License. This legislation allows for the direct shipment of wine, setting an annual limit of up to twenty-four nine-liter cases per customer. The bill also adjusts the fees associated with this license and clarifies enforcement provisions. Violations of the act can result in immediate license suspension and the seizure of illegal wine shipments by the division in coordination with law enforcement. This affects wine direct shippers, consumers purchasing wine directly, and regulatory bodies overseeing wine sales.
