Summary of Legislation: This bill allows the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC) to transfer a beer
wholesaler's permit from the beer wholesaler permittee to the permittee's immediate relative who holds a
majority share in another wholesaler permit, if: (1) the permittee is at least 75 years of age; and (2) the
permittee and the immediate relative have each held their respective wholesaler permits for at least 10 years.
The bill also allows the ATC to extend, one time and for not more than 90 days, the permit term of an
applicant for permit renewal that is delinquent in paying a listed tax.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The bill’s provisions regarding the transfer of certain wholesaler
permits and granting permit extensions could potentially increase the ATC’s workload. However, the bill’s
requirements are within the ATC’s routine administrative functions and should be able to be implemented
with no additional appropriations, assuming near customary agency staffing and resource levels.
Explanation of State Revenues: If additional wholesaler permits are transferred, permit fee revenue could
potentially increase by a minimal amount. The fee for the transfer of a permit is $250, and the annual fee for
a beer wholesaler permit is $2,000. Revenue is deposited in the General Fund (66%) and the Enforcement
and Administration Fund (34%).
