FISCAL NOTE, 83RD LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 8, 2013

TO:	Honorable Wayne Smith, Chair, House Committee on Licensing & Administrative Procedures
FROM:	Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB2818 by Sheffield, Ralph (Relating to changing the wet or dry status in certain areas of a political subdivision.), As Introduced

The fiscal implications of the bill cannot be determined at this time, as local annexation decisions cannot be predicted.

The bill would amend Chapter 251 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code relating to changing the wet or dry status in certain areas of a political subdivision. The bill would take effect on September 1, 2013.

An indeterminate impact to revenue could occur as a result of the bill depending on the number of areas annexed into an incorporated city or town assuming the wet or dry status of the incorporated city or town, and the results of subsequent local option elections.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
