Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill allows the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations (BABLO) to issue one additional agency liquor store license to any municipality. Any additional revenue from these licenses is not expected to be significant. Any additional costs to BABLO as a result of convening a stakeholder group to evaluate the effectiveness of the current liquor licensing system are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
