Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                      STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                
                            RS 15155
                                
    The purpose of this bill is to increase funding for the Drug
    Court and Family Court Services Fund.  The surcharge on
    goods sold in the state liquor dispensary and its branches,
    which is deposited in the Fund, would be increased from two
    percent (2%) to three percent (3%).  
    
    The additional revenue deposited in the Fund as a result of
    these provisions, based upon reasonable estimates, will
    allow the Supreme Court to expand programs supported by the
    Fund by approximately 300 participants.  This assumes that
    the Department of Health and Welfare, through its substance
    abuse treatment funds and the Access to Recovery Grant, the
    Department of Correction, and the counties can provide the
    requisite assessment, treatment and supervision costs.  The
    Fund will provide drug testing, court coordination,
    evaluation and operating costs.  Additional revenue will
    provide assessment and treatment and other court services
    required by statute.
                                 
                                
                                
                          FISCAL NOTE 
                                   
    Based on revenues for FY 2005 to date, the increase in the
    state liquor dispensary surcharge would generate
    approximately $900,000 in additional funds for the Drug
    Court and Family Court Services Fund.
