A bill for an act relating to alcoholic beverage control, including certificates of compliance and the issuance of class “A” wine permits to nonnative wine manufacturers, and providing fees.

HF 2355 amends Iowa's alcoholic beverage laws to allow nonnative wine manufacturers (producers located outside Iowa) to obtain Class "A" wine permits without meeting Iowa residency requirements. The bill specifically permits out-of-state wine producers to sell their own manufactured wine in Iowa, provided the wine is registered with the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, and they cannot sell wine made by other manufacturers. It also clarifies that these permit holders must comply with Iowa's licensing and record-keeping rules, including submitting sales records for audit. The bill updates application fees and procedures for all beverage permits but focuses primarily on expanding access for out-of-state wine producers.
