Mission
The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control operates under the direction of the State Liquor Authority, a three member board appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Division regulates and controls the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages within the State; issues licenses and permits to manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers; works with local law enforcement agencies and localities across the State to ensure compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law; and regulates trade and credit practices for the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $17.6 million in funding for the Division. This is an increase of $.5 million other funds from the 2007-08 Enacted Budget, and primarily reflects personal service, fringe benefit and indirect costs adjustments, as well as a one time increase to fund a review of the Alcoholic Beverage Control law. The Division is funded with revenue generated from fees and fines.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 165 FTE, which is unchanged from the 2007-08 Enacted Budget.
Budget Initiative:
- Review of Alcoholic Beverage Control law: The budget recommends $200,000 to be suballocated to the State Law Revision Commission. These resources will support the Commission’s statutorily mandated study of the Alcoholic Beverage Control law. A final report of recommended changes to the law is due in September of 2008.
