BILL ANALYSIS Ó AB 749 Page 1 Date of Hearing: April 13, 2011 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS Felipe Fuentes, Chair AB 749 (Hall) - As Introduced: February 17, 2011 Policy Committee: Governmental Organization Vote: 17 - 0 Urgency: No State Mandated Local Program: No Reimbursable: SUMMARY This bill changes the period covered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) annual report to the Legislature from a "calendar" year time period to "fiscal" year. FISCAL EFFECT There are no costs associated with this legislation. COMMENTS Rationale . This bill is intended to align ABC's annual report on activities and enforcement with the timing of their budget tracking and reporting requirements. ABC contends that the dual tracking for "calendar year" and "fiscal year" reporting creates unnecessary duplication of their reporting duties while increasing administrative costs and inefficiencies.
