                        February 21, 1995



 TO:     Honorable Ron Wilson, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 984

         House of Representatives

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
984 (Relating to the filing of a conduct surety bond by certain
alcoholic beverage permit or license holders.) this office has
determined the following:

This bill would modify the Alcoholic Beverage Code by repealing
Sections 11.11(g) and 61.13(g).   Repeal of these Sections would
eliminate certain population restrictions which currently dictate
those who must file surety bonds resulting additional filings.

The probable fiscal implication of implementing the provisions of
the bill during each of the first  five years following passage
is estimated as follows:

        2000                    44,042               2.0



       No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
