METHODOLOGY:
This bill removes the requirement for alcohol retailers to apply for a direct shipper permit. The New Hampshire Liquor Commission indicates there currently are 81 retailers holding a direct shipper permit. If this bill were to pass, the Commission estimates annual permit fee revenue would decrease by $40,500 and annual direct shipping revenue would decrease by $365,500. The Commission assumes sale through off-premise licensees, New Hampshire wineries and State-owned retail store would increase to offset the decline in permit fee and direct shipping fee revenue.
