FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
LS 6998 NOTE PREPARED: Dec 29, 2020
BILL NUMBER: HB 1207 BILL AMENDED:
SUBJECT: Alcohol Produced Adjacent to Restaurants.
FIRST AUTHOR: Rep. Soliday BILL STATUS: As Introduced
FIRST SPONSOR:
FUNDS AFFECTED: X GENERAL IMPACT: State & Local
X DEDICATED
FEDERAL
Summary of Legislation: This bill provides that the holder of certain permits to sell alcohol in certain
restaurants who has an interest in a production facility permit for a brewery, farm winery, or artisan distillery
that is located on or adjacent to the premises of the restaurant may: (1) sell certain carryout beer, wine, or
spirits that are manufactured at the production facility; and (2) allow a minor to participate in a nondrinking
tour of the production facility. It also provides that a minor may be present on a tour of certain production
facilities.
Effective Date: July 1, 2021.
Explanation of State Expenditures: Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (ATC): The ATC would be required
to administer and enforce the bill’s provisions. The ATC should be able do this within existing levels of
staffing and resources.
Explanation of State Revenues: The provision allowing minors to be on certain premises under certain
conditions could potentially reduce revenue to the state General Fund and the Enforcement and
Administration Fund from fines if there are fewer violations of IC 7.1-5-7-9 and IC 7.1-5-7-10. However, any
decrease in revenue would likely be small.
It is a Class C infraction for a minor to knowingly or intentionally be in a public place where alcoholic
beverages are sold. It is also a Class C infraction for a parent or guardian to take a minor into a place where
alcohol is sold and for a permittee to allow a minor in these places. The maximum judgment for a Class C
infraction is $500, which is deposited in the state General Fund. If the ATC imposes a fine, that revenue is
deposited in the Enforcement and Administration Fund.

Explanation of Local Expenditures:
Explanation of Local Revenues: If there are fewer court actions filed and judgments entered, local
governments could receive less revenue from court fees. However, any impact on local revenue would likely
be small.
State Agencies Affected: Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.
Local Agencies Affected: Trial courts, local law enforcement agencies.
