AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the Liquor Excise Tax Act in New Mexico. It imposes the liquor excise tax on retailers instead of wholesalers, changes the tax rates to a percentage-based system, eliminates "fortified wine" as a specific alcoholic beverage type, creates a new "Alcohol and Substance Use Harms Alleviation Fund" to be funded by the liquor excise tax, repeals the Local DWI Grant Program Act, and excludes the liquor excise tax from the definition of "gross receipts" for the Gross Receipts and Compensating Tax Act. The bill also provides a temporary provision to transfer any unexpended balance from the Local DWI Grant Fund to the new Alcohol and Substance Use Harms Alleviation Fund.
