Alcoholic Beverage Control, Division of

Mission

The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control operates under the direction of the State Liquor Authority, a three-member Board consisting of a Chairperson, who acts as the agency administrator, and two Commissioners, appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Division regulates and controls the manufacture, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages within the State; issues licenses and permits to manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers; works with local law enforcement agencies and localities across the State to ensure compliance with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law; and regulates trade and credit practices for the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $17 million for the Division. This is an increase of $141,000 from the 2011-12 budget, which reflects new costs related to the statewide e-Licensing Project, which will streamline and improve the processing of license applications. These new costs are offset by ongoing savings from other management efforts to improve Division operations.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 132 FTEs for the Division, an increase of nine positions from the 2011-12 budget associated with the e-Licensing Project.
