This bill requires
direct wine shippers to comply with the requirements of the Maine beverage
container laws. The direct wine
shippers will be required to register as an initiator of deposit with the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); the additional registrations
will result in a minor increase in Other Special Revenue Funds revenue. If the direct shippers elect not to
participate in a commingling agreement, unclaimed deposits will revert to the
state; the additional General Fund revenue from the escheat is not
anticipated to be significant. Any
additional costs to the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations
or to DEP to incorporate the changes in this bill are anticipated to be minor
and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
