IN RE:	HB3124 by Miles (Relating to the quantity of beer or malt liquor a distributor or wholesaler may withdraw from a retailer.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code, Section 104.05 (e) which states that a holder of a distributor’s license or wholesalers permit may withdraw a quantity of beer, ale, or malt liquor in its undamaged original packaging from the retailer's stock if the amount withdrawn does not exceed 50 cases of 24 12-ounce containers. The bill would take effect September 1, 2007.

The Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) states that there would be no significant costs to the agency to implement the provisions of the bill.

Local Government Impact
