Summary of Legislation: This bill specifies that the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission may issue restaurant
permits for a municipal riverfront development district established by a town.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC): The ATC would administer
the bill’s provisions. The bill’s requirements are within the agency’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: Alcoholic Beverage Permits: The bill could potentially allow the ATC to
issue additional retailer permits for restaurants for a municipal riverfront development project established
by a town. The annual permit fee is $500 if the permittee serves only beer or only wine; $750 if the permittee
serves both beer and wine, but no liquor; or $1,000 if the permittee serves beer, wine, and liquor. Revenue
is distributed to the General Fund (37%); the city, town, or county in which the licensed premises are located
(33%); and the Enforcement and Administration Fund (30%).
Explanation of Local Expenditures:
Explanation of Local Revenues: Alcoholic Beverage Permits: To the extent that revenue from permit fees
increases, the amounts distributed to local governments would increase.
State Agencies Affected: Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.
