The provisions of H.B. 415, passed in early 2020 and which establishes a direct shipper license authorizing shipment of alcoholic beverages to consumers in Kentucky, have become effective with the implementation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations. A manufacturer authorized to manufacture alcoholic beverages in or outside Kentucky or a licensed alcoholic beverage supplier is eligible to apply for the license. The bill requires shipment by common carrier and limits the amounts of alcoholic beverages a licensee may ship, as follows: distilled spirits – no more than 10 liters per consumer per month; wine – no more than 10 cases per consumer per month; and malt beverages – no more than 10 cases per customer per month.
