The price of liquor, wine and beer could go up in Utah, if a proposal to raise the state’s markup of alcoholic beverages passes the Utah Legislature.
Raising the state’s markup on alcohol, adding compliance officers and changing how many licenses the state issues are part of a new liquor bill.
• Raise the tax on beer kegs by a dollar over four years, from $13.10 for a 31-gallon barrel to $14.10.• Implement a “place of last drink” program, to monitor businesses that may be overserving their customers.• Make it legal for hotel guests to carry their drink from the hotel bar to their rooms and other designated areas.
It is unclear how much that increase would add to the cost of a bottle of booze, or how much more revenue the state government would receive from the rise. The Legislature’s analysts are in the process of creating a fiscal note to accompany the bill. The bill would also create three more full-time compliance positions in the State Bureau of Investigation. They would join a team whose job is to go through grocery and convenience stores where alcohol is sold, and make sure the alcohol is displayed properly. The team also would check that there are not any products such as alcoholic versions of soda brands, likeThe bill would also give more power to the DABS director, a position appointed by the governor.
