Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This legislation provides for a dual liquor license to allow retail establishments that currently sell beer and wine to be consumed off premises to be able to sell wine and beer to be consumed on the premises.  Assuming 15% of the establishments that could potentially qualify for this particular license would obtain a license, General Fund revenues will increase by $180,000 beginning in fiscal year 2009-10.  The bill includes a General Fund appropriation to the Department of Public Safety for one Public Safety Inspector II position and related administrative costs to inspect the establishments and ensure compliance.
