FRANKFORT- Residents in Kentucky could soon that coveted Napa Valley wine or any out of state wine, shipped directly to their door.

Senate Bill 99 was discussed in the Senate Committee on Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations Tuesday. The measure is being sponsored by Sen. Max Wise, R-Campbellsville, and would allow direct shipment of wine to consumers. 

Currently, Kentucky is only one of five states that don't allow this. 

"I ask this issue be fixed, I ask Kentucky remove itself from that list of five as we enter into 2019," said Sen. Wise. 

The bill would allow for each consumer to receive up to 24 cases of wine from a seller annually.

But--not everyone is on board with the bill. 

The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of Kentucky have several problems with the bill, including common carrier reporting. 

"These reports serve as an important enforcement tool with state regulators and tax enforcement agents to make sure out of state wineries, fulfillment house and others are properly reporting their shipments and paying taxes," said Charles George, Executive Director of Wine & Spirits Wholesalers. "SB 99 does indeed require wineries that file such reports to pay taxes, at least we hope it will once we get the language and definition section cleaned up, other states have seen suppliers simply ignore licensing and tax requirements and with little checks and balances they often go undiscovered."

The organization is also concerned the measure doesn't take into account dry territories within Kentucky. 

Lawmakers expressed concern that if common carrier reporting isn't included in the bill, companies could avoid paying in state taxes. 

"It doesn't do us any good in Kentucky to have taxes if we aren't going to collect them," said Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon. 

Lawmakers passed the bill out of committee with understanding language, including adding common carrier reporting would be added in a floor amendment.
