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 $21.5 million in funding for the Division. This is an increase of $3 million in funds from the 2008-09 Budget, reflecting increased resources to support licensing services. These resources will support implementation of legislation authorizing the sale of wine in grocery stores, and will also be used to alleviate the current license application backlog. The Division is entirely self-funded by revenue generated from fees and fines it imposes.
The Executive Budget recommends a staffing level of 215 FTEs, which is an increase of 50 from the 2008-09 Enacted Budget.
Resources from the 2008-09 Budget suballocated to the State Law Revision Commission will continue to be available to 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 June of 2009.
