IN RE: | HB1623 by Hernandez (Relating to exempting certain fraternal and veterans organizations from certain bond requirements to obtain an alcoholic beverage permit or license.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code, Section 11.61 to exempt fraternal or veterans’ organizations from certain bond requirements to obtain an alcoholic beverage permit or license. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote of all the members in each house, otherwise it would take effect on September 1, 2009. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) anticipates no significant fiscal impact to their agency and the Comptroller of Public Accounts anticipates no significant fiscal impact to the state.
