Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs. Please also include a long-range schedule of costs and revenues if fiscal impact is expected to vary in future years.
The WVABCA does not collect taxes on alcoholic liquors, please check with the WV State Tax Department. A 5 cents tax per ounce could excessive and impact sales.
Memorandum
Please identify any areas of vagueness, technical defects, reasons a bill would not have a fiscal impact, and/or any special issues not captured elsewhere on this form.
HB 4472 would divert funds generally meant for the General Revenue to a special fund for West Virginia Addictions Treatment and Recovery Fund. Interestingly, the HB 4472 does not tax the medical or pharmaceutical industry.
