DISTRIBUTION OF MONEYS IN LIQUOR ACCOUNT – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the distribution of moneys in the Liquor Account.
This bill updates how money collected from Idaho's liquor sales is distributed among state agencies, counties, and cities. It adjusts the percentage of funds allocated to various programs over time, including substance abuse treatment, education, and law enforcement, while also modifying how remaining balances are shared between counties and cities. The legislation establishes specific formulas for distributing funds to local governments based on liquor sales volume and population, with some allocations decreasing gradually until 2023. Additionally, it corrects a reference to an existing code section and sets an emergency provision for the changes to take effect immediately.
