Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 
                       RS09840 
                           
     This proposal changes the reporting period for certain reports to the Department
     of Law Enforcement of imports of beer and wine into the State of Idaho and sales
     of those products within the state. It changes the report period from quarterly to
     monthly. 
     
     The purpose of the reports, as stated in the present law, is to assist the Director in
     determining whether the licensees are complying with or violating the alcohol
     beverage laws and whether or not all taxes and fees are being properly paid. In
     addition, information contained in these reports provides the only database of
     accurate public information relating to beer and wine imports into the state and
     sales of beer and wine within the state. The monthly report period will allow
     wholesales to be on the same schedule for filing with the Department of Law
     Enforcement and the State Tax Commission, therefore eliminating the necessity
     for compiling a separate composite report for the Department of Law
     Enforcement. 
     
     
     
                     FISCAL NOTE 
     
     There is no fiscal impact to the state, but would simplify reporting costs by the
     private sector.
