         Committee on Licensing &               1063,

FROM: John Keel, Director

In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on Senate Bill No.
1063 (Relating to the regulation of package stores.; Relating to
the regulation of package stores.; Relating to the regulation of
package stores.) this office has determined the following:

The bill would increase the annual permit fee for package stores
to $500 from $300.  The bill would also provide various
regulatory changes regarding the operation of package stores.

Estimates are based on Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission Annual
Report data regarding the number of package stores permitted
during fiscal year 1994.

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



            Fiscal  Probable Revenue 
             Year   Gain to  General 
                    Revenue Fund 001 
                                     
          1996               $502,800
                                     
          1997                502,800
          1998                502,800
                                     
                                     
                                     

        1999                   502,800

        2000                   502,800



       Similar annual fiscal implications would continue as long as the
provisions of the bill are in effect.

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