Model Direct Shipment Bill
|
The National Conference of State Legislatures periodically receives questions asking for clarification of NCSL's endorsement of a wine industry Model Direct Shipment Bill. The model law was approved by the NCSL Task Force on the Wine Industry on November 5, 1997. NCSL took no further action on the model wine shipping bill, and it was not reviewed by the NCSL Executive Committee. It is not an adopted policy that NCSL lobbies for in Washington, D.C. The Task Force on the Wine Industry ended in 2002.
