The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code as it relates to the possession of alcoholic beverages on the premises of certain sexually oriented businesses and would provide for penalties.
The bill would make it a Class C misdemeanor for a person to knowingly possess an open container of alcohol on the premises of a sexually oriented business.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
The Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) assumes the majority of permit holders who operate sexually oriented businesses would let their permits expire under the provisions of the bill. TABC reports that the loss in revenue would vary each year since permit fees decline each year, up to the third year of renewal. TABC estimates the total loss to be $210,432 in fiscal year 2006, $201,886 in fiscal year 2007, $198,616 in fiscal year 2008, $196,096 in fiscal year 2009, and $198,826 in fiscal year 2010.
