*Note: RSA 176:16, II states 50% of the amount by which the current year gross profits exceed fiscal year 2001 actual gross profit, but not more than 5% of the current year gross profits will be deposited into the AAPTF. 50% of the net of FY 2010 gross profits and 2001 actual gross profits is $32.28 million, ( 50% * (153.86 million – 89.3 million)), which exceeds 5% of the current year gross profits. Therefore, 5% of the current year profits will be deposited into the AAPTF in FY 2010 and used for comparison in this analysis.
The New Hampshire State Liquor Commission states a change in the allocation of liquor revenues has no fiscal impact to the Commission.
This bill does not appropriate funds or establish positions.
