CHAPTER 82
S.P. 684 - L.D. 1886
Resolve, Directing the Director of the Bureau of Liquor Enforcement to Study the Equity of Fees for Establishments Licensed to Sell Liquor for On-premises Consumption
Sec. 1. Director of Liquor Enforcement to study equity of on-premises license fees. Resolved: That the Director of the Bureau of Liquor Enforcement within the Department of Public Safety shall study the equity of the cost of license fees for establishments licensed to sell spirits, wine and malt liquor for on-premises consumption. The study must include an examination of the current disparities in on-premises license fees and whether or not those disparities create a disincentive for establishments to obtain a license for the sale of spirits for on-premises consumption and whether changing the current license fee structure could generate increased revenue to the General Fund from the sale of spirits for consumption on the premises of a licensed establishment. The Director of the Bureau of Liquor Enforcement shall submit a report including suggested legislation to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over alcoholic beverages matters by December 31, 2003. The committee is authorized to report out legislation based on the report to the Second Regular Session of the 121st Legislature.
Effective July 25, 2002, unless otherwise indicated.
