Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill will reduce Sales and Use Tax revenue by $119,245 in fiscal year 2007-08 and $151,424 in fiscal year 2008-09, resulting in a General Fund revenue loss of $113,044 and $143,550 respectively.  Authorizing a registration fee to be paid by out-of-state shippers will increase General Fund revenue collected by the Department of Public Safety; the amounts will depend on the number of out-of-state wine shippers who register. That amount can not be determined at this time and is not reflected in the table above.
