IN RE:
HB2278 by Phillips (Relating to the solicitation of business by a distiller's agent.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Alcoholic Beverage Code by repealing Section 15.04, which restricts the holder of a distiller's agent's permit from soliciting a business directly or indirectly from the holder of a mixed beverage permit or a private club registration permit under certain circumstances. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission reports the costs to implement the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
