Idaho Liquor Act

This act establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework governing the manufacture, importation, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages, administered through a designated liquor control authority. It operates primarily through a licensing system that separates the industry into tiers — manufacturers, brewers, and wholesalers on one side, and retail on- and off-sale establishments on the other — with distinct license classes for smaller and specialized operators such as microdistilleries, brew pubs, farm wineries, taprooms, brew-on-premises and winemaking-on-premises stores, and sacramental wine. Alongside licensing and eligibility standards, it regulates trade practices between the tiers — restricting exclusive contracts, discriminatory pricing, credit extensions, and fraudulent shipments, while requiring brand registration, warehousing permits, and reporting — and provides for suspension and revocation of licenses, with separate treatment for lower-potency products and for licensing in Indian country.
