CLIVE, Iowa — A bill introduced this legislative session is aimed at allowing native distilled spirits to be directly shipped and delivered within the state.
This bill, House File 639, is sponsored by state Representative, Megan Jones, R- Sioux Rapids.
Jones got behind the bill after a distillery in northern Iowa, which uses corn in their distilling process, detailed how they were not legally able to send their alcoholic products to people in the state when they would call asking for it.
