LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 81ST LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION April 21, 2009 TO: Honorable Edmund Kuempel, Chair, House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures FROM: John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB3177 by Thompson (Relating to the transfer of certain alcoholic beverages between certain permitted premises.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code to allow holders of more than one wine and beer retailers off-premise permit to obtain a local cartage permit and to transfer wine to and from the permit holders permitted premises in the same county and in the same manufacturers territory if the local cartage permit was obtained. The bill would also allow owners of more than one wine only package store who also hold a local cartage permit to transfer alcoholic beverages to and from the owners stores in the same county, subject to rules adopted by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC). The bill would take effect September, 1 2009. TABC indicates a potential revenue gain could result from the bill's provisions, due to potential issuance of additional local cartage permits. TABC indicates 1.7% of wine only package store permit holders currently hold a local cartage permit. Assuming 1.7% of the 612 current permit holders of more than one wine and beer retailers off-premises permit would obtain a local cartage permit, an additional 10 local cartage permits would be issued (1.7%*612 = 10.4). The fee for each local cartage fee is $30, resulting in an additional revenue gain to the state of $300 ($30*10 = $300). TABC indicates the implementation of the bills provisions could be absorbed within existing appropriations. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
