Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The Lottery does not have the resources or specific information to assess the fiscal impact of eliminating oversight of ABCA and placing the agency under the Lottery. However, we assume no cost savings will occur in doing so as the Lottery would assume the staffing and administrative costs of the ABCA to continue conducting their business. There is minimal overlap between the Lottery and ABCA's duties. Unless the private club or tavern licensed by ABCA has a limited video lottery license then there is no overlap. Therefore, the personnel involved in regulating ABCA's activities would need to remain in place, resulting in minimal cost savings, if any.
