This bill amends Section 123.43 of the Iowa Code to expand the definition of "premises" for native distilleries to include noncontiguous locations. Specifically, it allows for additional locations that are separated from the primary premises by public waterways, roads, or carrier rights-of-way, as well as locations that are in the same general area as the primary premises. Furthermore, it permits the inclusion of additional warehouses located outside of the primary premises or the aforementioned locations, provided these are approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury.

The bill aims to facilitate the operations of native distilleries by broadening the scope of what constitutes their licensed premises, thereby allowing for greater flexibility in their physical locations. This change is significant as it acknowledges the logistical needs of distilleries while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.
