Explanation
The bill allows certain alcohol permittees to sell and deliver alcohol
for off-premises consumption for three years resulting in a potential
revenue gain explained below.
To the extent the bill’s provisions result in an increase (rather
than a shift) in alcohol consumption in the state, there is a
minimal revenue gain associated with incremental sales and
alcoholic beverage taxes.
To the extent the bill results in additional liquor permit
applications there is a potential revenue gain to the state.
The Out Years
The potential revenue impact identified above would continue
through FY 24 only in accordance with the bill’s sunset provision.
