1160-FN - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to licensing spas and salons to serve alcoholic beverages.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The New Hampshire Liquor Commission states this bill, as introduced, will increase state revenue and expenditures by an indeterminable amount in FY 2017 and in each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on county or local expenditures or revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Liquor Commission states it has no information on how many spas and salons might apply for a license to serve alcoholic beverages and therefore cannot estimate the impact on revenue or expenditures.
