| This bill proposes issuance of licenses for hotels to have minibars in guest rooms. It is estimated that 100% of hotels currently holding a liquor license will participate and that 80% of lodging establishments will participate. These licenses would result in additional General Fund revenue of $103,750 beginning in fiscal year 2009-10. The Department of Public Safety would require a General Fund appropriation of $154,841 in fiscal year 2009-10 and $135,958 in fiscal year 2010-11 for a Public Safety II position, Office Associate II position and related administrative costs. | ||||||
