Senate State Affairs votes to send RS 33216 (alcohol permits/licenses/fees) to print; chairman says increases will be phased over three years
Summary
The Senate State Affairs Committee voted Feb. 6 to send RS 33216 — titled 'Alcohol, Permits, Licenses, Fees' — to print after Chairman Guthrie said feedback led to phasing proposed fee increases over a three-year period; Senator Harris moved the motion and Senator Den Hartog seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote.
The Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee voted on Feb. 6 to send RS 33216, titled "Alcohol, Permits, Licenses, Fees," to print, a procedural step toward drafting and formal introduction. Chairman Guthrie told the committee the measure resembled a prior RS on alcohol licensing fees but would phase any price increases over three years following feedback from stakeholders. Senator Harris moved to send RS 33216 to print; Senator Den Hartog seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Chairman Guthrie described RS 33216 as similar to an earlier proposal but amended in response to feedback to spread increases across a three-year implementation period. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally; committee minutes note the motion carried by voice vote. Sending an RS to print is a drafting/processing action and does not itself change law; it typically precedes bill drafting or formal introduction for further committee consideration.
The committee briefly returned the gavel to Chairman Guthrie after the motion. With no further business, Guthrie adjourned the committee at 8:11 a.m.
