Today, it is illegal for a distillery to donate it's own liquor to charity. When a distillery owner is asked to support a local nonprofit with an in-kind donation of liquor to serve at an event or to put in an auction gift basket, an old law prevents him from doing it. The law has been updated for beer and wine, which can legally be donated for charitable purposes. This bill provides a similar update for liquor so that a distiller can legally donate liquor to a charity. The same process used for beer and wine will be used for liquor. The bill was drafted with input from and in conjunction with the Idaho State Liquor Division and the Alcohol Beverage Control.
