Agency: Alcoholic Beverage Control

Line Item: DABC Operations

Function

The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control was created by statute in 1935. The Department is charged with the responsibility of conducting, licensing and regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages in a manner and at prices which reasonably satisfy the public demand and protect the public interest.

Liquor sales provide more than $70 million annually to the State's General Fund. Net profits are deposited in the General Fund and used to support state government operations. State law also requires a transfer of 10% of gross sales to support the school lunch program and 1% to the Department of Public Safety to support alcohol-related law enforcement officers. A portion of the tax on beer goes to local governments to help cover their costs of liquor law enforcement.

Performance

The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control measures case sales per FTE, warehouse inventory turnover, and percent of profits to sales as performance measures. Data is shown below.

Utah buys from the manufacturer, stores, distributes and sells the products and collects the taxes in state-run stores. The state sets the types of retail establishments by law, based on population.

Funding Detail

The funding for the Operations of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control comes mainly from the Liquor Control Fund.

Program: Stores and Agencies

Function

The State currently operates 44 liquor stores. These stores are located in large and medium-sized communities where the volume of business is high enough to support the costs of operating a store. The State owns 38 stores and leases the other six. Employees working in the stores are state employees.

Package agencies are liquor outlets operated by private individuals or corporate entities under contract with the state for the purpose of selling packaged liquor, wine and heavy beer to the general public for off premise consumption. Package agencies are located in communities too small to warrant the establishment of a state store, and in resorts and hotels where the outlets exist primarily for the benefit of their guests. Package agencies are also located in Utah some breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

Funding Detail

The funding for the Stores and Agencies of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control comes from the Liquor Control Fund and the Markup Holding Fund.
