Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB828 by Taylor, Larry (Relating to the sale of distilled spirits to ultimate consumers by the holder of a distiller's and rectifier's permit.), As Introduced
Although the bill's provisions could result in increased production and additional revenue collections, the amounts in the aggregate cannot be estimated. Therefore, the bill could have an indeterminate revenue gain to the State.
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code as it relates to sale limitations of certain distilled spirit products as specified in the bill. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) indicates the bill would have no fiscal cost impact on TABC. The Comptroller of Public Accounts reports that although the bill's provisions could result in increased production and additional revenue collections, the amounts in the aggregate cannot be estimated. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
