Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Reinstating the requirement that 50% or more of like beverage containers for which deposits are initiated in the state must be covered in a commingling agreement and adding a provision allowing deposit initiators for wine containers who sell no more than 100,000 gallons or 500,000 wine containers per year to enter into commingling agreements will restore $634,000 in General Fund revenues annually compared to the $640,000 General Fund annual revenue loss from the Committee Amendment, which deleted the 50% requirement from existing law.  The final fiscal impact of this bill as amended here is a $6,000 General Fund revenue loss each year from allowing small wine sellers to participate in commingling agreements.
