RELATING TO LIQUOR.
HB 535 establishes a three-year surcharge on the state liquor tax, set to expire on June 30, 2028. This surcharge would increase costs for liquor businesses and likely result in higher prices for consumers purchasing alcohol. The bill does not change the base liquor tax rate but adds this temporary fee. It directly affects all businesses selling liquor and consumers buying it within the state.
