A bill for an act modifying the number of class “C” retail alcohol licenses or special class “C” retail native wine licenses allowed for a native winery.

HF 2648 increases the maximum number of retail alcohol licenses a native winery in Iowa can hold from two to three. Specifically, it allows native wine manufacturers to operate up to three "class C" retail licenses for their premises, which permit selling alcohol for on-site consumption and off-site sales in unopened containers. This change directly affects native wineries seeking to expand retail sales at their production locations. The bill modifies existing licensing rules but does not alter similar provisions for native distillers or brewers.
