 TO:     Honorable Ron Wilson, Chair            IN RE:  House Bill No. 1719

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on House Bill No.
1719 (Relating to altering the business form of the holder of a
permit allowing the sale or service of alcoholic beverages for
on-premise consumption.) this office has determined the
following:

The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code to allow a
person holding an on-premise alcoholic beverage sales and
consumption permit to make minor changes in the business's
ownership without being required to apply for a new permit.  The
person would be required to pay a $100 fee for each licensed
premise.  The fiscal impact from the $100 fee cannot be
determined because the number of changes in the form of ownership
cannot be estimated.


The fiscal implication to  the State or units of local government
cannot be determined.
