Governor’s Proposal
To evaluate the state’s retail liquor sales operations, including privatization
options, and make recommendations for improvement through the creation of a balanced task
force.
Goals and Objectives
1) Examine the operations and performance of the Board’s Product and Retail Services
Division based upon generally accepted business practices and similar operations in other
states; 2) evaluate the appropriateness of the state’s monopoly on liquor sales and
alternatives to the current system, including but not limited to privatization options;
and 3) based upon this review and evaluation, submit recommendations for improvements or
modifications in the state’s retail liquor sales system. In making its
recommendations, the panel will consider business efficiency and economies, public health
and safety, control and enforcement, customer service and convenience, profitability, and
other appropriate criteria.
Meetings
- The committee will meet once a month beginning April 19, 2000. A consultant has been
hired to facilitate meetings. (Meetings may be more frequent as needed to meet the stated
objectives.)
- Two public hearings will be held to take testimony from interested parties.
- A final report is due to the Governor and the Liquor Control Board December 2000.
