The following listing captures a large number
of trade practice issues, which have been submitted to the
Commission for determination.
14. CARBON DIOXIDE FILTERS
A Manufacturer, Importing Distributor, or Distributor may
sell, supply, furnish, give or pay for, or otherwise provide
to and install for a licensee authorized to sell alcoholic
beverages at retail, carbon dioxide filters provided that
the following applies:
- The cost to the manufacturer importing distributor or
distributor for such filters, including labor and installation
costs, does not exceed Fifty Dollars ($50.00).
- The filters are installed in such a manner that it protects
and cleans the CO2 supply for all
the draft beer in the retailer’sdelivery system and
not just the products carried by the manufacturer, importing
distributor or distributor supplying the filter.
- The filters must be made available to all retailers that
sell draft beer.
- The manufacturer, importing distributor, or distributor
may not limit the availability of the filter to only the
retailers that carry the brands of the supplying manufacturer,
importing distributor or distributor.
It is the determination of the Commission that CO2
filters may provide consumer protection and aid in providing
a safe and healthy product delivered to consumers. Therefore,
the Commission has determined that providing such items under
the above standards, would not constitute a “thing of
value” or otherwise be prohibited within the meaning
of Sections 5/6-4, 5/6-5 o5 5/6-6, of the Illinois Liquor
Control Act (235 ILCS 5/1 et seq.)
This Trade Practice Policy shall expire and be repealed on
October 1, 2006 unless readopted by the Illinois Liquor Control
Commission.
