AB 1694 (Beall)
Alcohol-Related Services Program
AB 1694, as amended, Beall. Alcohol-Related Services Program.
Existing law requires the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to perform various functions and duties with respect to the
development and implementation of state and local substance abuse
treatment programs.

This bill would, in addition, establish the Alcohol-Related
Services Program and the Alcohol-Related Services Program Fund and
would authorize the State Board of Equalization to assess and collect
specified fees from every person who is engaged in business in this
state and sells alcoholic beverages for resale, as prescribed. The
bill would require the fees to be deposited into the fund and would
continuously appropriate those moneys exclusively for the
alcohol-related services programs established pursuant to this bill.

The bill would authorize the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to establish, contract for, or provide grants for the
establishment of component services under the program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
