Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 30 - Intoxicating Liquors › 6 - Liquor Control Seating and Bathrooms › Part II - REGULATION OF SPECIFIC PERMITS › A - Out-of-State Shipper Permits › Section 30-6-B7 - Consignments; return of goods; authorized distributors

Current through July 10, 2024
No manufacturer, wholesaler or out-of-state shipper
					 permittee shall sell alcoholic liquors on consignment, except to holders of
					 temporary permits. No manufacturer, wholesaler or out-of-state shipper
					 permittee shall take back any merchandise once sold, billed, shipped, delivered
					 or received by any permittee unless such transaction has been approved by the
					 department, or except in the case of a temporary permit provided such return is
					 accomplished within thirty days of expiration of the permit. A full and
					 complete explanation of all circumstances shall accompany any request to take
					 back merchandise. Each manufacturer and out-of-state shipper permittee shall
					 file with the department a list of his authorized distributors, setting forth
					 the brands and also the exact geographical area in which the distributor or
					 wholesaler shall be authorized to sell, and shall also file a certificate from
					 the wholesaler to the effect that he is, in fact, servicing the area designated
					 and no other area for the brand or brands for which he has been appointed as
					 distributor. Where a wholesaler has held a distributorship for less than six
					 months, no change on the list of authorized distributors or wholesalers of a
					 manufacture or out-of-state shipper shall be made except after ninety days'
					 notice by registered mail to all such authorized distributors or wholesalers
					 affected by such change which appear on the list of the particular manufacturer
					 or out-of-state shipper as recorded in the office of the department of liquor
					 control, and except after ninety days' like notice to and approval by the
					 department. Such changes may be made without waiting the ninety days with the
					 approval of the department where waivers are executed by the distributors or
					 wholesalers concerned, or where the geographical area of distribution has not
					 been already allocated to a distributor or wholesaler, or after a hearing has
					 been held, upon presentation of sufficient evidence of any violation of the
					 liquor control act or regulations of the department, or evidence of any other
					 act detrimental to the orderly conduct of the business, in which a present
					 authorized distributor or whole-saler has been involved. The notice of change
					 shall indicate that the name of the permittee is to be an additional
					 distributor or wholesaler or, in the case of eliminating the name of a present
					 distributor or wholesaler, with or without substituting another permittee's
					 name, the notice of the change shall so indicate an "elimination" or
					 "substitution." Geographical areas of distribution shall be submitted either by
					 townships or counties or state-wide, and any change in geographical area of
					 distribution shall fully conform to the same essential conditions as required
					 in the notice of change to distributors or wholesalers.
