Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code relating to delinquent payment of an alcoholic beverage retailer's account for liquor. The bill would require the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) to publish electronically, as soon as practical after the 10th and 25th day of each month, a list of retailers reported to TABC by a wholesale dealer as being delinquent in payments for liquor purchases since the previous list was published. TABC would be required to electronically publish and maintain a list of retailers ineligible to purchase liquor due to this delinquency. TABC would also be required to immediately remove any retailer from the list after receiving proof that the retailer's account is paid in full. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2013.

Methodology
TABC would hire 3 additional employees to enter the delinquencies and payments into the system and determine which delinquencies have been resolved. These would be classified as Accounts Examiner I positions. The starting salary for an Accounts Examiner I is $30,804 annually. The salary estimate increases to $34,620 in fiscal year 2016. Additional costs are for equipment, employee benefits, and various operating expenses.
Technology
Programming costs could be absorbed within the existing resources of the agency.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
