Oversight functions shall be conducted for all appropriations-related actions of those agencies assigned to this committee for appropriative purposes during the 67th Regular Session of the Legislature. In addition, a study should be made of the impact of any federal cuts, and the differences in the operational aspect of the agencies under block vs. categorical grants. Close scrutiny should be given to each agency to ascertain if legislative intent is being carried out in the rules promulgated by the agency and if the rules are feasible and practical in their application. These agencies include:
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission
- Study viniculture in Texas as it relates to recently enacted laws relating to the commercial production of wine.
- Determine if the fees charged to holders of licenses and permits under the Alcoholic Beverage Code are presently adequate.
- Compare Texas laws with other states' laws dealing with revenue collection of taxes on alcoholic beverages and the administration of such taxation at the service level.
- Study the feasibility of expanding the number of ports of entry for alcoholic beverages in Texas to include airports.
