i INTRODUCTION

The Illinois Register is the official state document for publishing public notice of rulemaking activity initiated by State governmental agencies. The table of contents is arranged categorically by rulemaking activity and alphabetically by agency within each category. Rulemaking activity consists of proposed or adopted new rules; amendments to or repealers of existing rules; and rules promulgated by emergency or peremptory action. Executive Orders and Proclamations issued by the Governor; notices of public information required by State Statute; and activities (meeting agendas; Statements of Objection or Recommendation, etc.) of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR), a legislative oversight committee which monitors the rulemaking activities of State Agencies; is also published in the Register. The Register is a weekly update of the Illinois Administrative Code (a compilation of the rules adopted by State agencies). The most recent edition of the Code, along with the Register, comprise the most current accounting of State agencies' rulemakings. The Illinois Register is the property of the State of Illinois, granted by the authority of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act [5 ILCS 100/1-1, et seq.].

For children who have been in the guardianship of the Department, have been adopted, and are subsequently returned to the temporary custody or guardianship of the Department, a "relative" may also include any person who would have qualified as a relative under this definition prior to the adoption, but only if the Department determines that it would be in the best interests of the child to consider this person a relative.

Section 301.80 Relative Home Placement

a) A child for whom the Department is legally responsible may be placed in the home of a relative when the Department has reason to believe that the relative can safely and adequately care for the child in the absence of formal licensing, including training.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

relationship with the relative, the comfort level of the child with the relative, and the extent to which the relative complies with the placement selection criteria of Section 301.60(b). b) The placing worker shall assess the prospective relative caregiver's willingness to help and support children in developing a relationship with their siblings, including siblings with whom the children do not yet have a relationship, and recognize the value of preserving family ties between siblings, including their need for stability and continuity of relationships, and the importance of sibling contact in the development of each child's identity. The worker shall document the results of this assessment in the case record. c) "Fictive kin" and "godparents", as defined in Section 301.20, are considered to be related to a child when the child is in the custody or guardianship of the Department and in need of a substitute care placement. Unless otherwise specified, the requirements in this Section pertaining to relative home placements also apply to placement with persons that the parents or child have identified as fictive kin or the child's godparents. d) The placing worker shall emphasize to prospective relative caregivers that it is preferable for children to be placed together in one home. However, the placing worker may consider a plan for placement with two or more relatives when the relatives indicate that they are willing and able to develop, nurture and support sibling relationships. When it is not possible to place all of the children together, the placing worker shall encourage substitute caregivers to encourage and facilitate contact among the siblings. e) Obtaining Information about Relatives

1) Child Entering Substitute Care

A) The placing worker shall ask the parents whether there is a noncustodial parent or if there are relatives who may be positive placement resources or positive supports for the child. The placing worker shall ask the parents and/or child to identify grandparents and other relatives on both the maternal and paternal sides of the family. When the child is able to understand that he/she will be entering substitute care, the placing worker shall also ask the child, outside the presence of the parents or any relative, about each

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7723 18 DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

relative named by the parent as a placement resource. The placing worker shall document all identified relatives and shall not omit from this list anyone named by the parent or child.

B) When considering a godparent as a placement resource, the placing worker may identify the godparent/godchild relationship by contacting one or both parents to confirm the fact that they did, in fact, designate the person as the child's godparent. If the parents are unavailable, the placing worker shall contact other close family members to identify the relationship. When the child is able to understand, the child shall also be asked to help identify his/her godparent. The placing worker must determine that the godparent established a close and caring relationship with the child prior to the child's placement with the godparent or is part of the family support system (see subsection (g)). When family members are not available or cannot confirm this relationship, and formal documentation is not available, a person claiming to be the child's godparent may be considered for placement as a fictive kin.

C) When considering a fictive kin as a placement resource, the placing worker must determine that the fictive kin established a close and caring relationship with the child prior to the child's placement with the fictive kin or is part of the family support system (see subsection (g)).

D) The placing worker shall contact the persons identified by the parent and child to attempt to locate an immediate placement for the child. The placing worker shall document each contact in a contact note.

E) The assigned Permanency Worker shall continue discussions with the parents and child about any relatives who might be support resources for the child. The Permanency Worker shall ask the child, outside the presence of the parents or any relative, about each relative named by the parent as a placement resource.

F) The Permanency Worker shall attempt to locate and interview each person named by the parents or child, within 5 days after case assignment, to determine his or her interest and ability to be an

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

appropriate placement resource or positive support for the child. In these interviews, the Permanency Worker shall ask if the relative is aware of other relatives of the child who should be contacted. The Permanency Worker shall identify and contact all grandparents, all parents of a sibling of the child (when the parent has legal custody of the sibling), and other adult relatives identified by the family, even when an initial placement has been made with a relative caregiver. If the relative cannot be contacted, the Placing Worker shall document the reason the relative could not be contacted. All interviews shall be documented in a contact note. When contacted by a relative who the Permanency Worker has not already interviewed, the Permanency Worker shall meet with or call the relative. The Permanency Worker shall interview the relative and ask the relative to confirm how he/she is related to the child. If a sibling group is involved, the relative shall be asked how he/she is related to each of the children.

G) The Permanency Worker shall send a written notice, via U.S. Mail, to each identified relative, informing the relative that a court order was issued for the child to be removed from the custody of the child's parents and placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services. The written notice shall identify the child by first name, gender and age only. At initial placement, this written notice shall be sent within 30 days after obtaining protective custody. In all other circumstances, written notice shall be sent within 7 days after obtaining the relative's postal contact information. This notice shall not be sent to a relative for whom there is a police report, indicated finding or court finding of family or domestic violence. The Permanency Worker shall obtain a copy of the police report, indicated finding or court finding and place it in the record.

H) If the child does not know, trust or feel safe with a person named by the parent or identified as a relative, the placing worker shall not place the child with that person. The placing worker and supervisor shall convene a supervisory staffing to discuss the child's feelings and determine and validate the child's concerns. The supervisor shall make a Critical Decision regarding placement

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

of the child with that relative and document the decision in a supervisory note.

I) Throughout the life of the case, the Permanency Worker shall continue to collect information about other relative supports and connections as that information becomes available, in order to develop a network of individuals who commit to support the family toward reunification and ensure the children do not linger in foster care.

2) Children in Substitute Care Requiring Change of Placement

A) The placing worker for the child shall continue to have discussions with the parents about relatives who may be willing to be positive placement resources for the child. When the child is able to understand, the placing worker shall also ask the child, outside the presence of the parents or any relative, about any relatives who might be support resources for the child and about any relative named by the parent as a placement resource.

C) When considering a fictive kin as a placement resource, the placing worker must determine that the fictive kin established a close and caring relationship with the child prior to the child's

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

placement with the fictive kin or is part of the family support system (see subsection (g)).

D) The placing worker shall contact all relatives identified by the parents or child, as well as any others previously contacted who expressed interest in being a placement resource. The placing worker shall reconsider any relative who expressed an interest in being a placement resource or, if previously considered, asks to be reconsidered for placement, as the circumstances of the relative or the child may have changed. Each contact shall be documented in a contact note. f) The placing worker shall inform prospective relative caregivers that they may be contacted in the future regarding placement of the siblings of a child who may subsequently require placement, or contact with siblings in other living arrangements or living independently. g) Assessing Relatives as Placement Resources When assessing a relative as a placement resource, the placing worker shall also consider:

1) The best interests of the child as defined in Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act [705 ILCS 405/1-3];

2) The nature and quality of the relative's relationship with the child. This includes the length of time the child has been in care and whether this relative has been part of the child's life during that time;

3) The relative's ability to protect the child from abusive parents and/or his or her own risk behaviors;

4) The relative's ability to understand the needs of the child and family and the indicated findings and court findings that have been made with regard to the child and family;

10) In cases involving domestic violence, mental health and/or substance abuse, how placement with the relative supports the ability of the parents to meet the requirements of the service plan and/or have safe contact with the child; and

11) If siblings are being placed together and one of the siblings does not trust or feel safe with the relative, the placing worker shall ask the child (when verbal), outside the presence of the parents and any relative, about the relative. h) No child under age 18 for whom the Department is legally responsible shall be placed with a relative unless the conditions for placement specified in this Section have been met prior to placement of the child with the relative. Staff of the placing agency shall meet with the relative and ascertain that the relative meets the following conditions for placement and signs an agreement to that effect. The relative:

1) will care for no more than the number of children consistent with the number and ages of children permitted in a licensed foster family home (89 Ill. Adm. Code 402, Licensing Standards for Foster Family Homes);

2) is willing and capable of protecting the children from harm by the parents or any other person whose actions or inactions allegedly threatened the children's safety or well-being as determined by a child abuse or neglect investigation pursuant to the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act [325 ILCS 5];

1) background checks of the Child Abuse Neglect Tracking System (CANTS) as required by 89 Ill. Adm. Code 385 (Background Checks) and a check of the Statewide Child Sex Offender Registry have been completed on all adult members of the household and children age 13 and over, communicated to the supervising agency prior to placement, and appropriate decisions made.

Caregivers are prohibited from using corporal punishment. The discussion must include information about trauma-based reactive behaviors and should emphasize the negative effects that result from the use of corporal punishment, as well as use of derogatory or demeaning language towards the child or his/her family members.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS l) Within 90 days after initial placement of a relative child, a final placement decision shall be determined by a supervisor of the placing agency based on the assessment criteria and conditions for placement listed in subsections (d), (e) and (f). The final placement decision shall also consider the results of a criminal background check of all persons 18 years and older who are living in the home and whether continued placement with that relative is in the best interests of the child. m) Prior to or concurrent with placement in a relative's home, staff of the placing agency shall document, on the form prescribed by the Department, that the conditions for placement prescribed by this Section have been met. n) The supervising agency shall reassess the appropriateness of the relative home placement on an on-going basis and at least prior to each administrative case review or at any point the supervising agency has reason to believe the relative caregiver can no longer safely or adequately care for the children. Appropriateness is determined by ongoing reassessment of the best interests of the child and the relative as a placement resource, as required in subsection (g), and the extent to which the home is in compliance with the conditions described in subsections (h) and (i) and by an evaluation of the continued safety of the children, including an evaluation of any pending criminal charges against any adult members of the household. o) The Department may, after providing notice as required by 89 Ill. Adm. Code 337 (Service Appeal Process), move the child to another placement if the Department determines, based on the consideration and assessment of the safety and well- being of the child, the child's permanency goal, and the best interests or special needs of the child, that an alternative placement is necessary. p) Only placements in licensed foster family homes receive the foster care payment rate. Relatives who care for children for whom the Department is legally responsible are encouraged to apply for licensure as a foster family home in accordance with the requirements of 89 Ill. Adm. Code 402 (Licensing Standards for Foster Family Homes). When a relative is licensed under Part 402, the relative will receive the established foster care payment rate appropriate for the number and ages of foster children placed in care. Relatives who are unlicensed receive the child only standard of need.

SUBPART B: VISITATION SERVICES

Section 301.240 Grandparent and Great-Grandparent Visitation

a) The Department shall make reasonable efforts and accommodations to provide for visitation privileges of a child who is in the care and custody of the Department. Any visitation privileges provided under this Section shall be separate and apart from any visitation privileges provided to a parent of the child. The Department shall provide visitation privileges only if doing so is in the child's best interest, taking into consideration the factors set out in Section 1-3 (4.05) of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and the following additional factors:

1) The mental and physical health of the grandparent or great-grandparent;

2) The quantity or duration of the visitation time requested and the potential adverse impact the visitation would have on the child's customary activities;

3) Any other fact that establishes that the loss of the relationship between the child and the grandparent or great-grandparent is likely to unduly harm the child's mental, physical, or emotional health; and

4) Whether visitation can be structured in a way to minimize the child's exposure to conflicts between adult family members.

b) Any visitation privileges provided under this Section shall automatically terminate upon the child leaving the care or custody of the Department.

c) The Department may deny a request for visitation after considering the criteria provided under subsection (a) in addition to any other criteria the Department deems necessary. If the Department determines that a grandparent or great- grandparent is inappropriate to serve as a visitation resource and denies visitation, the Department shall document the basis of its determination and maintain the documentation in the child's case file and shall inform the grandparent or great-grandparent of his or her right to a clinical review in accordance with Department rules and procedures. The Department may adopt any rules necessary to implement this Section. [20 ILCS 505/35.9]

2) Code Citation: 11 Ill. Adm. Code 100

3) Section Number: Proposed Action: 100.500 New Section

4) Statutory Authority: 235 ILCS 5/3-12; 235 ILCS 5/6-5, 5/6-6, 5/6-6.63

5) A Complete Description of the Subjects and Issues Involved: This rulemaking establishes regulations that implement provisions of the Liquor Control Act of 1934 ("Act") governing "of value" transactions between retailers and manufacturers, distributors and importing distributors. The term, "of value," originates in the Federal Tied House Laws, 27 USC 205 (a), (b) and (c). The objective of these laws is to provide a clear framework for permissible and prohibited interactions between retailers and manufacturers and distributors in order to promote a competitive alcohol market. The Illinois General Assembly has enacted its own "tied-house" provisions at 235 ILCS 5/6-5, 5/6-6 and 5/6-6.3. This rulemaking implements those provisions. The rules provide that except as allowed by the Act, it is unlawful for any licensed manufacturer, non-resident dealer, distributor, importing distributor or foreign importer "(Industry Member") to furnish, give, or lend money or anything of value, or to otherwise loan or extend credit, directly or indirectly, to a licensed retailer. Licensed retailers are similarly prohibited from accepting or receiving money or any item of value from an Industry Member. The rules also prohibit "of value" activities between Industry Members and third parties, where the resulting benefits flow indirectly to retailers. The rules detail prohibited "of value" activities by Industry Members (including shelf space payment, display service and slotting fees; provision of credit to retailers; maintenance of a security interest in the real or personal property of retailers; loan guarantees for retailers; and prohibited advertising services). The rules set out requirements for maintenance of books and records by licensees and extensively discuss the numerous exceptions to prohibited "of value" activities (these include provisions governing signage; sale of equipment and supplies to retailers; quantity discounting; provision of samples; use of social media advertising; promotional events at retailer locations; provision of consumer advertising specialties; provision of educational seminars; service and inspection of draft beer, wine or distilled spirits systems; provision of courtesy wagons, coil boxes, cold plates and pumps; product donations; customized labels for wine and spirits; provision or sale of non-alcoholic merchandise; and stocking, rotation, resetting and pricing services).

Section 100.500 "Of Value" Provisions – General Applicability

a) Except as allowed by the Act, it shall be unlawful for any licensed manufacturer, non-resident dealer, distributor, importing distributor, foreign importer or any of their officers, managers, partners, owners, employees, agents, or affiliates (collectively referred to as an "industry member") to furnish, give or lend money or anything of value, or otherwise loan or extend credit (other than merchandising credit in the ordinary course of business for a period not to exceed 30 days, as permitted by Section 6-5 of the Act, and Section 100.90 of this Part), directly or indirectly to a licensed retailer or any officer, associate, member, representative, or agent of that licensee ("retailer"). It is likewise unlawful for any retailer, as defined in this subsection, to accept or receive money or any item of value from an industry member. A retailer does not include a special event retailer as defined in Section 1-3.17.1 of the Act.

b) Third-Party Arrangements. The furnishing, giving, renting, lending or selling of equipment, fixtures, signs, supplies, money, services or other thing of value, not specifically allowed by this Section, by an industry member to a third party, when the benefits resulting from the things of value flow to a retailer, is an indirect furnishing of a thing of value within the meaning of Sections 6-5 and 6-6 of the Act. Indirect furnishing of a thing of value includes, but is not limited to, making payments for advertising to a retailer association or a display company when the resulting benefits flow to an individual retailer. An indirect furnishing of a thing of value does not arise when the industry member did not intend that the thing of value would be furnished to a retailer by a third party, or the industry member did not reasonably foresee that the thing of value would have been furnished to the retailer.

c) Violations of the "Of Value" Provisions of Sections 6-5 and 6-6. Performance of the following activities or provision of the following items violates the provisions on giving anything "of value" under Sections 6-5 and 6-6 of the Act:

1) Shelf Space Payments, Display Service and Slotting Fees Prohibition. An industry member shall not directly or indirectly offer or give anything "of value" to a retailer, and a retailer shall not directly or indirectly request or accept anything "of value" from an industry member, in exchange for

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7741 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

offering for sale or displaying an industry member's product on a retailer's shelf, on a tap handle, at any other desired location within the retail establishment, or on a retailer's website.

2) Credit to Retailers. An industry member shall not provide credit to retailers unless permitted by Section 6-5 of the Act as implemented by Section 100.90 of this Part. The statute provides the following parameters for extending credit to retailers:

A) No credit extensions are allowed on the purchase of beer by retailers. The full invoice cost of beer must be paid in cash as defined in Section 100.90(j) by the retailer on or before the delivery date.

B) An industry member selling wine or spirits to a retailer may extend a merchandising credit in the ordinary course of business not to exceed 30 days.

3) Security Interest. An industry member's acquisition of a mortgage on any of the real or personal property a retailer uses in its alcoholic beverage business is a prohibited interest in the retailer's property, except to the extent a lien or other security interest is acquired only in the industry member's products sold to the retailer in order to secure payment of goods sold on credit, if that credit is permissible under Section 6-5 of the Act.

4) Guaranteeing Loans. An industry member is prohibited from guaranteeing any loan or repayment of any financial obligation owed by a retailer, and a retailer is prohibited from guaranteeing any loan or repayment of any financial obligation owed by an industry member.

5) Industry Member Advertising. An industry member shall not give, and a retailer shall not accept, anything of value in exchange for any advertising service, including but not limited to:

A) Display space advertising or placement of ads in a retailer's publications, including a retailer's website; or

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7742 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

B) Payments to a third party for advertisements in which the primary purpose of the advertisement promotes a retailer's business or aspects of the retailer's business. d) Exceptions to the "Of Value" Provisions of Sections 6-5 and 6-6 of the Act. Having due regard for public health, established trade customs not contrary to the public interest, the purposes of the Act, and the items or activities permissible under the "of value" provisions of Sections 6-5 and 6-6, performance of the following activities or provision of the following items is permissible under Sections 6-5 and 6-6, as long as the performance or provision is not conditioned upon an activity or arrangement intended to create a tied-house.

1) All licensees shall maintain records on the licensed premises, subject to a Section 100.130(e) waiver, for all items furnished to retailers, or received by retailers, under Sections 6-5 and 6-6 and this Section 100.500 for a period of three years. Commercial records or invoices may be used to satisfy this recordkeeping requirement, provided that all required information listed in this subsection (d)(1) is contained in these commercial records or invoices. These records must include:

A) The name and address of the retailer receiving the item;

B) The item furnished;

C) The cost of the furnished item to the industry member, determined by the invoice price paid by the industry member; and

D) Charges to the retailer for any item.

2) Signage. An industry member may provide signage to a retailer, and a retailer may accept signage from an industry member, so long as the signage, in the aggregate, does not exceed the number of signs allowed or the cost adjustment factor dollar limitations under Section 6-6.

3) Product Displays. An industry member shall not directly or indirectly offer or give anything "of value" to a retailer, and a retailer shall not directly or indirectly request or accept anything "of value" from an industry member, in exchange for setting up product or other displays, or renting displays, shelf, cold box, storage or warehouse space at a retail

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

establishment (i.e., slotting fee or allowance), except as specifically permitted by Section 6-6.3. The act by an industry member of giving or selling product displays to a retailer is permissible if the total value of the product display does not exceed $300 per brand at any time per retail location. The value of a product display is the actual cost to the industry member that initially purchased the product display or, if the industry member did not purchase the product display, the fair market value of the product display. Transportation and installation costs are not included in the $300 value.

A) A product display means any racks, bins, barrels, casks, coolers (having a fair market value of no more than $175, with no exterior plumbing or electrical hookup), buckets, glass or transparent display cases, shelving or similar items whose primary function is to hold and display alcoholic liquors at point-of-sale, at or on a retail licensed premises. Product displays may also include "display enhancers" that are exclusive of trade fixtures and equipment and include only items that convey the product display sales programming message to consumers. All product displays, including display enhancers, must cumulatively fall within the dollar limitation of product displays.

B) All product displays must bear conspicuous and substantial advertising matter on the product of the industry member that is permanently inscribed or securely affixed. The name and address of the retailer may appear on the product display.

C) Industry members may not pool or combine dollar limitations to provide a retailer with a product display in excess of $300 per brand.

D) The giving or selling of product displays may be conditioned upon the purchase of alcoholic liquor advertised on those displays in a quantity necessary for the initial completion of the display. No other condition can be imposed by the industry member on the retailer in order for the retailer to obtain the product display.

4) Equipment, Fixtures, Furniture and Supplies. Except as provided under the Act, an industry member cannot give, lend, lease, furnish or sell

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7744 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

furniture, equipment or fixtures to a retailer. An industry member may sell equipment and supplies to retailers if the equipment or supplies are sold to the retailer for a price that is not less than the cost of the equipment or supplies. For purposes of this Section, the cost of equipment or supplies is the amount that the industry member paid for the equipment or supplies if the industry member did not acquire them from another industry member. If the industry member selling equipment or supplies to a retailer acquired the equipment or supplies from another industry member (initial selling industry member), the cost of the equipment or supplies is the amount that the initial selling industry member paid for them. In either case, if the equipment or supplies were manufactured or produced by an industry member, the cost of the equipment or supplies is deemed to be the fair market price of the equipment or supplies. The sale price must be collected from the retailer by the industry member within 30 days after the date of the sale. Equipment and supplies includes items such as glassware (or similar containers made of other material), dispensing accessories, carbon dioxide (and other gasses used in dispensing equipment), coasters, trays, napkins, cups and buckets. Dispensing accessories include items such as standards, faucets, cold plates, rods, vents, taps, tap standards, hoses, washers, couplings, gas gauges, vent tongues, shanks, check valves, and counter-top branded shot machines.

5) Quantity Discounting. Quantity discounting is permissible only if an industry member offers the same quantity price discount to all similarly situated retailers in the same geographic area who agree to purchase the required predetermined quantity of alcoholic liquor of the same brand. A "quantity discount" is when an industry member offers a retailer a discount at the time of sale based upon an agreement by which the retailer will purchase a predetermined number of products in return for receiving a discount on the same goods purchased. However, the following activities are prohibited:

A) An industry member may not require a retailer to take and dispose of any quota of alcoholic liquors. Bona fide quantity discounts shall not be deemed to be quota sales.

B) An industry member may not require a retailer to purchase one product in order to purchase another. This includes combination sales if one or more products may be purchased only in

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7745 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

combination with other products and not individually. However, an industry member is not prohibited from selling, at a special combination price, two or more kinds or brands of products to a retailer provided:

i) The retailer has the option of purchasing either product at the usual price; and

ii) The retailer is not required to purchase any product it does not want.

C) The furnishing of free warehousing by delaying delivery of alcoholic liquors beyond the time that payment for the product is received, or if a retailer is purchasing on credit as permitted by Section 6-5 of the Act, as implemented by Section 100.90 of this Part, delaying final delivery of product beyond the close of the 30- day credit period, is the furnishing of an "of value" service in violation of Section 6-5.

D) Subsections (d)(5)(A) through (C) notwithstanding, this Section does not prohibit legitimate sales programming among or between the industry tiers in which the primary purpose of the programming is to increase product sales and merchandising to retailers and is not a subterfuge to provide prohibited "of value" inducements to a retailer. These legitimate sales programs are lawful if:

i) Sales incentives are temporary and designed and implemented to produce product volume growth with retailers;

ii) The sales incentives to retailers are based on volume and discounted pricing, including discounts in the form of cash, credits, rebates, alcoholic liquor products, and product displays;

iii) The sales incentives are documented on related sales or credit memoranda; and

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7746 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

iv) The sales incentives are offered to all similarly situated retailers.

E) The use of product credits and rebates, such as "end of month", "end of year", "end of period", or other such temporary cumulative discounts, credits and rebates from an industry member to a retailer is an adjustment of the purchase price based on volume purchasing and, as such, is not a violation of Section 6-5 of the Act. These cumulative discounts are considered to be a form of pricing arrangement; provided they are made pursuant to a written agreement, entered into at the time of sale; extend for a specific period of time; are calculated based solely upon the purchases made by the retailer receiving the cumulative discount; and are documented on related sales and credit memoranda. If the retailer is part of a group of retailers with common ownership, however, cumulative discounts, credits or rebates may be provided in one aggregate payment for all retailers within the common ownership structure. In this case, the cumulative discount, credit or rebate must be calculated based upon the volume purchases of each individual retailer, with supporting documentation that denotes the portion of the discount, credit or rebate attributable to each individual retailer.

F) "No Charge" Products. Price-to-retailer sales incentives that include volume-based discounts on the purchase price, and/or "no charge" products that represent an additional overall discount on the related alcoholic liquor product purchased, is an adjustment of the purchase price based on volume purchasing if made at the time of sale, and if the amount of the product given at no charge with the order is not so great as to constitute a subterfuge in which the pricing aspect is merely a means to provide a retailer with a "gift" or "free" product. These transactions are not a violation of Section 6-5 or 6-6 of the Act. However, "penny deals" and other such transactions in which the "no charge" or deeply discounted products (i.e., $.01 per case) are not related to a corresponding volume purchase are considered free product and a violation of Section 6-5 or 6-6. Deals regarding product closeouts and other such deep discounting, non-ordinary business transactions are not prohibited under this subsection (d)(5)(F). "No charge" goods

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7747 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

must be listed and indicated as such on the invoice to the retailer. The importing distributor or distributor must have records to support the volume-based discount and the purchase price. The provisions of Section 100.280 prohibiting a licensee from giving away alcoholic liquor for commercial purposes is applicable.

6) Samples. If a retailer has not purchased a brand of alcoholic liquor from an industry member during the immediately preceding 12-month period, it is not an "of value" violation for an industry member to provide that retailer with not more than 384 ounces of any brand of beer, 3 liters of any brand of wine, and 3 liters of any brand of spirits. These sample requirements do not apply to consumer tastings.

7) Social Media Advertising. An industry member may use social media to advertise product location communications that inform the public where its products may be purchased (retail locators) and pre-announcing any promotional activity to be held on a retailer's premises, if otherwise permitted by the Act, provided:

A) The industry member does not give compensation to, or receive compensation from, directly or indirectly, the retail license holder for social media advertising.

B) If the social media advertising is a product location communication, the purpose of the communication must be limited to allowing a consumer to determine the availability of a specific product at a retailer. If the social media pre-announces promotional activity at a retailer's premise, the focus of the social media advertising must be the product promotion and any reference to the retailer should provide only necessary information, such as location of the event.

C) The advertisement does not contain the retail price of the product.

D) All social media advertising must also comply with all applicable rules and regulations issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury.

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7748 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

E) The industry member does not offer social media advertising to a specific retailer to the exclusion of other, similarly situated retailers.

8) Industry Member Promotional Events at Retailer Locations. Any promotional event sponsored by an industry member at a retailer's premises that primarily promotes the retailer's business and does not promote, or only incidentally promotes, the industry member's brand or brands of products violates the "of value" provisions of Section 6-5 of the Act. Industry member promotional events held at retailer premises must focus on the industry member or brands being promoted and all reference to the retailer in any advertisement shall be limited to the name and address of the retailer, which shall be relatively inconspicuous in relation to the advertisement as a whole. Promotional events include, but are not limited to, tastings, samplings, bottle signings, public product launch events, or other similar methods of brand promotion. The promotions shall be available to all similarly situated retailers without a purchase requirement imposed upon a retailer.

9) Consumer Advertising Specialties. Consumer advertising specialties, which are items designed to be carried away by the consumer, including but not limited to trading stamps, non-alcoholic mixers, pouring racks, ash trays, bottle or can openers, corkscrews, shopping bags, matches, printed recipes, pamphlets, cards, leaflets, blotters, postcards, pencils, shirts, caps and visors, that are intended to be given to and received by the consumer, may be given by an industry member to a retailer, as long as the retailer gives all the items away to consumers.

A) The industry member may not, directly or indirectly, pay or credit the retailer for using or distributing these items, or for any expense incidental to their use.

B) Only if the retailer pays for the consumer advertising specialties may the items be retailer-specific. Consumer advertising specialties must bear conspicuous and substantial advertising matter about the brand or the industry member.

10) Educational Seminars. An industry member may give or sponsor educational seminars for employees of retailers either at the industry

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7749 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

member's premises or at the retail establishment. Examples of these educational seminars include seminars dealing with use of a retailer's equipment, training seminars for employees of retailers, or tours of the industry member's plant premises. This subsection (d)(10) does not authorize an industry member to pay a retailer's expense in conjunction with an educational seminar (such as travel and lodging). Industry members may provide nominal hospitality during the event, including meals and local transportation.

11) Industry members may service, balance or inspect draft beer, wine or distilled spirits systems at regular intervals, and may provide labor to replace or install rods, taps, faucets, fittings and lines in draft beer, wine or distilled spirits dispensing equipment. However, free cleaning of coils by an industry member or by a company whose services are paid for by an industry member shall be considered something of value in violation of Sections 6-5 and 6-6 of the Act.

12) Courtesy wagons, coil boxes, cold plates or pumps may be supplied to a retailer, by an industry member, free of charge one time per year for a one-day period. However, the industry member shall not supply free beer, wine or distilled spirits to a retailer for the event.

13) Courtesy wagons, coil boxes, cold plates or pumps may be supplied to a retailer, by an industry member, for an event that is given by or under the auspices or sponsorship of a municipal, religious, charitable, fraternal or social organization that is a holder of a Special Event License. However, the industry member shall not supply free beer, wine or distilled spirits to a retailer for the event.

14) Product Donations. An industry member may make contributions of cash, alcoholic liquor products, non-alcoholic products, services, equipment or signs to a not-for-profit organization, including but not limited to charitable organizations, religious organizations, trade associations, political organizations, and fraternal organizations. An industry member may not make contributions of alcoholic liquor products to any not-for- profit organization that has a local municipal and State of Illinois retail license. These donations shall be subject to the following conditions:

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7750 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

A) Donations of alcoholic liquor products may not be given for commercial purposes. The proof of donative intent is on the industry member;

B) An industry member must maintain invoices on its licensed premises for a period of three years for all alcoholic liquor products donated to not-for-profit organizations;

C) Signage dollar limitations contained in Section 6-6 of the Act do not apply to signage and advertising materials donated to a not-for- profit organization; and

D) Advertising and signage referencing the industry member must be reasonably commensurate with a donative intent to ensure that the charitable donation is not being made for a commercial purpose, in violation of Section 100.280. The proof of donative intent is on the industry member.

15) Customized Label for Wine and Spirits Products. Wine or spirits customized label programs may be offered by industry members to retailers. A customized label program is defined as a sale in which the retailer purchases a single barrel of wine or spirits and the retailer has the option of selecting the product blend, age, estate, barrel or wood type in which the wine or spirits is stored or aged. Custom label programs must be offered to all similarly situated retailers who agree to purchase the program, under the following guidelines:

A) All formulas and brand rights to the wine and spirits products must be owned by industry members; no brand rights to the wine or spirits product, or exclusive use of the blend or product options, may be offered to, or accepted by, the retailer;

B) An individual, non-exclusive custom label may include the retailer's name, provided there is a matching Federal Certificate of Label Approval and no language on the label or container suggests or implies that the wine or spirits is exclusive to the retailer; and

ILLINOIS REGISTER 7751 18 ILLINOIS LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

C) Any product displays that are a part of the customized label program must adhere to the rules on product displays set forth in subsection (d)(3).

16) Non-Alcoholic Merchandise. An industry member who is also in business as a bona fide producer or vendor of merchandise other than "alcohol", "spirits", "wine", "beer" or "alcoholic liquor", as those terms are defined in Article I of the Act, may furnish, give, sell or offer to sell that non- alcoholic merchandise to retailers as provided in Section 6-6.3 of the Act. However, non-alcoholic merchandise may not be used by an industry member to induce or cause a retailer to engage in any activity prohibited by the Act or this Part.

17) Stocking, Rotation, Resetting, and Pricing Services

A) Industry members, at retail licensed establishments, may stock alcoholic liquors they sell, provided that alcoholic liquor products of other industry members are not moved, altered or disturbed. This stocking may be done only during the course of, or within 24 hours of, a regular sales call or delivery to the retailer. The stocking is considered service incidental to a sales call or delivery. Stocking is defined as any placing of alcoholic liquors where they are to be stored or at point-of-sale where they are offered for sale.

B) Industry members may rotate their own alcoholic liquor products at a retailer's premises during the normal course of a sales call or a delivery. Rotation is defined as moving newer, fresher product from a storage area to a point-of-sale area and the replenishing of the point-of-sale area with fresh product. Rotation may be performed at any location within a retailer's premises.

C) Industry members are permitted to participate in or be present at merchandising resets conducted at a retailer's premises no more than four times per year. Resets are defined as large-scale rearrangement of the alcoholic liquor products at a retailer's premises. During resets, industry members may stock or restock entire sections of point-of-sale locations at the retailer's premises. No reset shall occur without at least 14 days prior notice made by the retailer to all industry members whose alcoholic liquor

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT

products are carried by the retailer. Industry members may only move, alter, disturb or displace their alcoholic liquor products and the products of properly notified but nonattending industry members.

D) Industry members may provide to retailers recommended diagrams, shelf plans or shelf schematics that suggest beneficial display locations for their alcoholic liquor products at the retailer's premises. Industry members may not condition pricing discounts, credits, rebates, access to brands, or provision of any other item or activity permissible under the Act or this Section upon a retailer's choice to implement or not implement diagrams, shelf plans or shelf schematics.

E) Industry members may not affix prices to products on behalf of retailers. This prohibition includes the indirect affixing of prices to product, including entering prices into a retailer's computer system. This prohibition does not prohibit industry members, after stocking a shelf, from affixing shelf tags that identify the product and price of the alcoholic liquor; however, at no time may an industry member delegate or contract this service to a third party. Shelf tags are considered point-of-sale advertising materials and are subject to the provisions of Section 6-6 of the Act. If permitted stocking by an industry member involves movement and a change in the placement of its product on the retailer's shelf, shelf tags may be moved to the new position of the product.

NOTICE OF ADOPTED AMENDMENTS

1) Tournament officials must be able to certify that all boats will be required to possess a livewell (except Muskie Fishing Tournaments) fitted with a functioning aerator and water pump.

2) Following the weigh-in, fish must be released away from the weigh-in site and as near to the spot where the catch was made as possible by means of a common release boat or vehicle, or by individual boats. When impractical to release away from the ramp, fish shall be released into the water body as quickly as possible to avoid undue stress.

23) If a common release boat or vehicle is to be utilized for releasing fish following the weigh-in, a copy of the IDNR Fishing Tournament permit shall be carried aboard the boat to exempt, a permit must be obtained from the IDNR-Division of Fisheries exempting the sport fishermenanglers transporting the fish to be released from the Daily Harvest Limit. When using a common release boat, permits granting exemptions from Daily Harvest Limits may be obtained by contacting the IDNR-Division of Fisheries at 217-782-6424. A common release boat and holding tank used to transport fish for release shall be adequate to carry a tank constructed of a suitable material (aluminum or fiberglass) with smooth interior walls with no obstructions to trap or injure fish. The tank must be able to hold at least one gallon of water per pound of fish, provide adequate aeration, and maintain constant desirable temperature to sustain their well-being. The tank must have operating hatches to prevent fish from jumping out of the tank and allow quick opening and closing for introduction and removal of fish.

34) Individual boats and sport fishermenanglers returning their catches of fish back to a release site must adhere to Daily Harvest Limits. Tournament officials must be able to certify that a common release boat is being utilized for this tournament.

45) For catch, hold for weigh-in, and release Muskie Fishing Tournaments, all boats must have a fish cradle (made from netting) to temporarily hold the muskie in the water while an official determines the length or weight of the fish prior to release. Muskies may not be transported to a weigh-in site.
