(Radio Iowa) — Another adult beverage may be available for this summer’s backyard barbecue: a canned cocktail. Iowa legislators have voted to raise the allowed alcohol content up to 15 percent for mixed drinks sold in a metal can. Representative Mike Sexton of Rockwell City says the bill allows canned cocktails to be sold and served in places where beer is now sold.
“We are allowing another product into the state of Iowa,” Sexton said. “It’s going to help businesses. It’s going to help the beer wholesalers as they see their market shift and as we get ready for this next generation of canned alcohol.” Sexton says market research in Europe and Australia show more and more consumers are choosing canned cocktails there that have an even higher alcohol content than this bill would allow.
“I wonder if I could get a Crown and a Coke? Well, we certainly can’t under this bill we’re doing today,” Sexton said, “but in the next generation of canned cocktails, very likely we will and those canned cocktails will definitely have to fall within the classification of spirits.”
That will require another rewrite of Iowa laws on alcohol beverages. The House approved the new rules today (Thursday) that will let beer wholesalers sell canned cocktails with up to 15 percent alcohol content. The Iowa Senate endorsed the move in mid-March, so the bill now goes to the governor for her consideration.
Critics of the bill say bars and restaurants that have paid for a liquor license may lose business to a competitor down the street that just paid for a beer license, which is cheaper, and will now be able to sell canned cocktails that contain liquor.
(Radio Iowa) — The debate over requiring an Iowa license plate on the front AND rear of vehicles has been revived in the 2019 legislature. The House has voted to let antique or classic vehicles — that are least 25 years old — to go without a front license plate. Representative Brian Lohse of Bondurant says the House plan also directs the Iowa D-O-T and Department of Public Safety to study the issue.
“The purpose of this study is to address law enforcement’s concerns for public safety as well as to address the ever-increasing amount of life safety technology being placed in the front bumper by auto manufacturers,” Lohse says.
Representative Andy McKean of Anamosa is skeptical of eliminating the front license plate requirement. “Now I’m perfectly willing to take a look at what recommendations are made, but I don’t think we can minimize the public safety importance of having proper identification at the front of the car,” McKean says. “It’s made a big difference in many cases for public safety concerns.”
The bill passed the House on a 96-to-one vote. However, 34 members of the Iowa Senate voted for a different approach to this issue two weeks ago.. The Senate plan would forbid police from pulling a vehicle over solely because it lacks a front license plate. The Senate proposal also would let auto owners skip putting a license plate on the front of the vehicle if it requires drilling holes or using glue to get the plate on the front bumper. Iowa is among the 31 states that require plates on the front AND rear of vehicles. Most sports cars and high-priced, luxury vehicles don’t have a spot for a front plate.
