SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Alcoholic beverage control; collection of taxes, etc.; markup on spirits. Requires the ABC Board, before implementing any increase in the markup of spirits, to conduct a study that assesses the economic impact of any such increase on its sales and profits and issue a written report detailing its findings. The bill requires the economic impact analysis to include (i) the impact of any increase on manufacturers of spirits sold by the ABC Board, on mixed beverage licensees, and on consumers; and (ii) comparisons of spirits pricing by the Board with wholesale and retail outlets in border states and on military installations located in the Commonwealth. The bill requires the ABC Board to provide interested parties, including manufacturers, mixed beverage licensees, and consumers, an opportunity to comment on the economic impact analysis before the ABC Board issues a final report. The bill requires the ABC Board to prepare and forward to the Governor and the General Assembly a copy of its final report.
