STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 13187
This legislation provides for a two percent (2%) surcharge on the
sale of all liquor through the Liquor Dispensary in order to
provide an ongoing dedicated source of funding for Drug Courts and
Family Court Services in the Judicial Branch.
Section 23-217(a), Idaho Code, has become obsolete in the day-to-
day operations of the Dispensary's approach to pricing products.
RS 13187 results in an overall 2% increase in the total shelf price
of liquor sold at the Dispensary. Section 23-217(b), Idaho Code is
still relevant because it provides for the 5% markdown on the sale
of liquor to all licensees, but has an incorrect reference to code
Section 23-902e. A correction is included in this legislation.
This bill basically takes advantage of current Idaho Code to create
a new provision to provide funding for court services without
disrupting any other distributions from the Liquor Control Fund.
FISCAL IMPACT
This bill will generate approximately $1.5 million to be deposited
into the Drug Court and Family Court Services Fund. This fund will
be subject to appropriation by the Legislature. It is anticipated
that it will free up General Funds that are now dedicated to Drug
Court and Family Court Services. These programs have been put at
risk due to reducing General Fund appropriations in the Judicial
Branch's budget.
