Repealing the wine and liquor operating fund and operations fee
HB 4736 would repeal a section of West Virginia law (§60-2-17b) that established the Wine and Liquor Operations Fund and required an operations fee from alcohol businesses. This bill directly affects wine and liquor license holders who currently pay this fee, removing their obligation to do so under the repealed law. The bill makes no new policy changes but eliminates an existing fee structure.
