Comments on: Lawsuit filed in Tennessee http://shipcompliantblog.com/blog/2006/10/22/lawsuit-filed-in-tennessee/ Untangling the complex world of wine direct shipping and compliance Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:20:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Pam Zubrod http://shipcompliantblog.com/blog/2006/10/22/lawsuit-filed-in-tennessee/#comment-38693 Pam Zubrod Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:54:23 +0000 http://shipcompliantblog.com/blog/?p=138#comment-38693 I think I misinterpreted the "Def." in the Bill History Section....instead of the bill being "defeated", I am thinking that on February 2, 2008, it was "deferred" to be brought up for action on March 5, 2008. Is that correct??? Sorry for the confusion in the earlier inquery. I am hopeful this bill is still "alive" and there is still hope for its passage.

I would like to know who to contact in regards to helping change this law. I just looked up the information on the website listed above and it stated that the bill was defeated on February 6, 2008. Is there a way to revive this issue or is it dead in the water??? How long does it take to bring another bill to the attention of the legislature? I am willing to help in any way. This is just ridiculous....we can order weapons, drugs and harmful chemicals and have them delivered to our front door, but we can't order a case of wine from wineries we have visited out of state???????

We'll allow free trade agreements to be written with Mexico and Canada, but we can't get a bottle of wine shipped from one state to another without the State coming down on our heads?! Come on, Tennessee lawmakers... time to bring the state out of the e-commerce dark ages. This is utterly ridiculous.

Everyone on the Hill is afraid of the top lobbyist, Tom Hensley, and his money. Looks like he got this stopped as well. It will take a lot of cash to blunt Hensley's advantage up there. http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/bills/currentga/billLookup.asp

Why should that be crime, let alone a FELONY? I hope the lawsuit is successful.

There is nothing illegal about a wine retailer receiving massive shipments of wine. There is nothing illegal about me leaving the state with a bottle of wine. There was nothing illegal about my parents sending me a gift of wine for the New Year when they lived in Tennessee. And now, just because they live in California, it shouldn't be illegal to receive a gift from my parents. Hey Tennessee, your legislature is screwing up my family tradition.
