Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person who is at least twenty-one years of age may purchase and receive distilled spirits from another state as provided in this section if the distilled spirits are not in distribution in this state. The person may place an order with a licensee as defined in subdivision 35-4-2(3) or (5). The licensee shall order the distilled spirits through a wholesaler licensed pursuant to subdivision 35-4-2(2) and the wholesaler shall arrange the purchase of the distilled spirits. The licensee shall inform the purchaser of the cost of the distilled spirits, the amount of any tax that would apply to the purchase pursuant to 35-5-3, the amount of sales tax that would apply, and the amount of charges for freight and handling. The licensee shall collect the total amount due from the customer before ordering the distilled spirits through the wholesaler. After receiving the order for the distilled spirits from the licensed retailer, the wholesaler shall arrange for the distilled spirits to be shipped directly to the licensee who placed the order for the purchaser. Distilled spirits purchased pursuant to this Act may only be delivered and received by the purchaser from a licensee as defined in subdivision 35-4-2(3) or (5).
Section 2. That a NEW SECTION be added:
35-13A-2. No registration fee for certain annual purchase totals.
If the wholesaler orders three or less cases of a particular brand of distilled spirits for an individual purchaser in one calendar year pursuant to this Act, no registration fee pursuant to chapter 39-13 may be imposed.

However, if the delivery of the distilled spirits does not result in a completed sale to the person who placed the original order, the licensee may sell the distilled spirits in the ordinary course of business. It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to receive more than three cases of distilled spirits during a calendar year in violation of this Act. It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to resell or attempt to resell any distilled spirits obtained pursuant to this Act. The Department of Revenue shall promulgate rules, pursuant to chapter 1-26, to provide for the reporting and tracking of information related to the sale of distilled spirits under this Act and to prescribe forms for the implementation of this Act.
