Fiscal Note - State of Utah - 2013 General Session

HB0228S03 - Alcoholic Beverage Control Act Amendments

State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this bill would increase revenue to the Alcoholic Beverage Legal Fund by $130,000 annually and the Alcoholic Beverage Enforcement Fund by $20,000 annually. The bill also appropriates $130,000 from the newly created Alcoholic Beverage Legal Fund to the Attorney General. There will also be an increase in Liquor Control Fund revenue of $19,300 in FY 2014 and $36,600 in FY 2015. Spending from the Liquor Control Fund affects annual transfers to the General Fund which will help offset the $33,000 reduction in General Fund due to a diversion of existing fine revenue into the restricted accounts. The net impact to the General Fund will be a reduction of $13,600 in FY 2014 and an increase of $3,600 in FY 2015.

Local Governments (UCA 36-12-13(2)(c)):
Enactment of this bill likely will not result in direct, measurable costs for local governments.

Direct Expenditures by Utah Residents and Businesses (UCA 36-12-13(2)(d)):
Enactment of this bill will likely result in one additional full service master license in the first year and two in the second. The licensees will pay an application fee of approximately $300 and a full service initial fee of $10,000. The cumulative cost in FY 2014 is $10,300 in FY 2014 and $20,600 in year two. There would be renewal fees of $1,000 for the applicant in FY 2015 for a cumulative cost of $1,000. Enactment of this bill will likely result in 30 change of location requests annually at a cost of $300 per request. An estimated 100 violations will occur annually resulting in increased fine revenue of $1,500 per violation.
