1. Before a supplier may engage in the sale or shipment of alcoholic beverages to a 
licensed North Dakota wholesaler, that supplier must first procure a supplier license 
from the state tax commissioner.
2. For any month in which a licensed supplier has made sales to a North Dakota 
wholesaler, that supplier shall file a report with the state tax commissioner no later 
than the last day of each calendar month covering alcoholic beverages sold or shipped 
to a North Dakota wholesaler during the preceding calendar month. When the last day 
of the calendar month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is the 
first working day thereafter. The report must provide such detail and be in a format as 
prescribed by the state tax commissioner. The state tax commissioner may require that 
the report be submitted in an electronic format approved by the state tax 
commissioner.

3. If a supplier fails to file the required report as required by this section, there is imposed 
a penalty of twenty-five dollars per month for each calendar month or fraction of a 
month during which the delinquency continues beginning with the month during which 
the report was due. Any assessed penalty may be waived by the tax commissioner for 
good cause upon request by the supplier.
4. A supplier in violation of this section or who furnishes information required by this 
section that is false or misleading is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
5. In addition, whenever the holder of a supplier's license fails to comply with any of the 
provisions of this title or any rules or regulations prescribed by the state tax 
commissioner and adopted under this title, the state tax commissioner, upon hearing 
after giving ten days' notice of the time and place of the hearing to show cause why 
the holder's license should not be revoked, may revoke the license. The state tax 
commissioner also shall have the power to restore licenses after such revocation. 
Whenever the holder of a license has had the license revoked for failure to comply 
with the provisions of this title or any rules and regulations prescribed by the state tax 
commissioner and adopted under this title, the state tax commissioner shall charge a 
fee of one hundred dollars for the reissuance of the license.
