Committee advances bill to cap winery late‑fee penalties, requires online filing portal for excise reports Sen. Perry introduced a bill to limit compounding late fees for monthly winery excise submissions and to require an online filing portal; a winery owner described a $1,000 penalty offer for a two‑day late excise filing, and ABC counsel said the $1,000 offer is part of agency regulations while Code allows penalties up to $2,500. Committee adopted substitute and re‑referred the bill to Finance for further work.

Virginia lawmakers are tackling the hefty penalties and confusing regulations facing wineries, with a new bill aimed at capping late fees and introducing an online filing portal.
