LCB to start economic analysis for retail alcohol product-placement rule in March
Summary
Staff said public comments on the retail alcohol product-placement draft closed Jan. 16; after revisions the agency will contract an economic analysis expected to begin by March 1 and take about three months, with CR-102 filing tentatively planned for the summer and an effective date likely delayed to 2027.
Kevin from the rules team provided the board with a status update on several rulemaking projects and the near-term schedule for economic and stakeholder work. On the retail alcohol product-placement rule he said public comments were due Jan. 16 and staff received industry feedback; the team plans a few final revisions and will begin a contracted economic analysis by March 1 that is "expected to take about 3 months."
Kevin said the economic analysis contractor will survey industry stakeholders and that the rules team will incorporate the analysis into a CR-102 filing planned for the summer. To reduce disruption to businesses, staff expect to delay the rules' effective date until 2027 if adopted. "Based on the feedback we received, we will be making a few final revisions before commencing the economic analysis, which should begin by March 1 and is expected to take about 3 months," Kevin said. The board did not vote; staff will return with the CR-102 filing and associated analysis as milestones are met.
