           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.
