The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) regulates and
controls the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages

permits to manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers and
works with local law enforcement agencies to ensure compliance with

Government appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive Budget for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03 includes
Special Revenue Fund Other appropriations of $13,744,000, an increase
of $80,000 from SFY 2001-02.  This increase is the net effect of the
following:

--     a $730,000 net increase in State Operations funds reflecting
       salary adjustments, NPS and other costs associated with agency
       operations; and

--     a $650,000 decrease in State Operations funds reflecting
       savings achieved through the continuation of operational
       efficiencies and elimination of 11 full time equivalent (FTE)
       vacant positions.

Article VII Proposals:

--     The Executive proposes Article VII Legislation designed to
       extend and make permanent alcoholic beverage tax enforcement
       provisions;

--     The Executive proposes Article VII Legislation designed to
       adjust the alcoholic beverage control license and permit fees
       based on changes in the alcoholic beverage producer price
       index.
