Legislation creates:
A New Program | |||
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
| The $25 fee may be inadequate to cover the expenses of such a program and reduce revenues transferred by the WVABCA to the General Fund in order to cover the cost of such a program.
The bill fails to state/create a special fund where the fee should be deposited and expended to pay for the program. Estimates are made on persons who serve and sell alcohol at about 5000 on-premise licensed establishments. If the average is 5 bartenders/wait staff. This bill could affect 25,000 people or more. The program if properly implemented could cost a $100/person. See estimates below. |

The bill fails to state/create a special fund where the fees should be deposited and expended to pay for the program. |
