Bill > HB179

This bill proposes to amend the existing liquor tax law by increasing the tax rate on certain types of alcoholic beverages, while also allocating a portion of the additional tax revenue to fund public health initiatives and alcohol abuse treatment programs. Specifically, the bill calls for a higher tax on liquor and wine, while maintaining the current tax rate on beer. The increased tax revenue generated from these changes will be used to support substance abuse prevention, education, and rehabilitation services, as well as to promote public health awareness campaigns related to the responsible consumption of alcohol.
