FISCAL NOTE

Senate Bill 172 as introduced would allow foreign entities to ship wine to an Alabama resident without registering as a foreign entity with the Secretary of State, which would reduce potential future receipts to the Secretary of State Entity Fund in the State Treasury by an undetermined amount dependent upon the number of foreign direct wine shipper licensees and wine fulfillment center licensees that would otherwise have had to register and pay the $150 registration fee and any other necessary filing fees.
