Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Additional General Fund revenue of $20,000 is estimated from issuance of wine direct shipper licenses.  This assumes 200 licenses issued at $100 each.  Maine Revenue Services indicates that a small amount of sales tax may not be collected due to the inability to require collection and remittance of sales tax from some licensees.  Additional costs to the Department of Public Safety associated with reviewing reports from the direct shippers can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
