Fiscal note

The potential decrease in revenue to the Beer and Liquor Control Fund from moving existing products from the alcoholic liquor classification to the canned cocktail classification is expected to be minimal. The potential increase in revenue to the General Fund cannot be determined at this time due to limited information on the total number of items in the new product category.
