Explanation of Fiscal Impact
State Expenditure
This bill creates a new certificate that would allow certain licensed breweries, wineries, micro-distilleries, or liquor manufacturers to establish up to four satellite locations for the tasting and sale of their product. In order to qualify for the certificate, an eligible manufacturer must have invested at least four-hundred million dollars and created three-hundred new jobs in this state on or after January 1, 2021. There is a $5,000 biennial fee per satellite location that must be paid to DOR, who shall administer the certificates. DOR anticipates that due to the economic development requirements to qualify for this certificate, there will be a limited number of certificates issued and any expenses will be handled with existing appropriations. Therefore, this bill will not have a fiscal impact to DOR's expenditures.
State Revenue
An eligible manufacturer is required to submit a $5,000 application fee to DOR biennially for each of up to four satellite locations established pursuant to this bill. Any fees received by DOR would increase their other funds revenue and help pay the expenses necessary to administer the certificates. Due to the economic development requirements to qualify for this certificate, DOR estimates there will be a limited number of certificates issued, but is unable to estimate at this time how many. Therefore, it is anticipated this bill may result in a minimal but undetermined increase in DOR's other funds revenues for a new type of application fee, the impact will be contingent upon the number of applications and fees received by the department.
