AI Summary

This bill modifies the state sales tax rate and creates a new Alcohol Addiction Prevention and Treatment Fund. Starting October 1, 2025, the bill reduces the standard sales tax rate from 5.5% to 5%, while maintaining a reduced 2.75% rate for transactions within certain designated "good life districts." Additionally, the bill introduces a significant 15.5% sales tax on alcoholic liquor, with the revenue from this new tax to be split evenly between the new Alcohol Addiction Prevention and Treatment Fund and the Education Future Fund. The Alcohol Addiction Prevention and Treatment Fund will be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services and used specifically for alcohol addiction prevention and treatment programs. The bill also makes technical changes to how sales tax revenues are allocated, including directing proceeds from vehicle, boat, and aircraft sales to various state funds. These changes aim to generate additional revenue for state programs while providing targeted funding for addressing alcohol addiction.
