Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The stated purpose of this bill is to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday mornings beginning at ten o’clock a.m by restaurants, private clubs and licensees that sell wine to be consumed on the premises. It is expected that the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration will submit a Fiscal Note on the potential impact on revenues and costs related to potential changes in alcohol consumption attributable to the provisions in the bill. According to the interpretation of the State Tax Department, passage of this bill would provide the General Revenue Fund, the Drunk Driving Prevention Fund and local governments with minimal amounts of additional revenue attributable to the sales tax on alcoholic beverages. Passage of this bill would result in no additional administrative costs to the State Tax Department.
