Governor Ralph Northam has signed into law 14 Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Authority legislative proposals passed by the Virginia General Assembly during the 2018 session.

The laws go into effect Sunday, July 1.

Licensing Fee

HB 826 and SB 884- increases the ABC general license application fee from $65 to $195 and the application fee for mixed beverage special event licenses from $15 to $45. The law also increases the state tax on wine shipper’s licenses, beer shipper’s licenses and wine and beer shipper’s licenses from $95 to $230. This proposal was the result of discussions with industry stakeholders regarding the agency’s increased efforts to process applications in a timely manner. Additional revenues will be used to support Virginia ABC Bureau of Law Enforcement operations.

SB 647 removes the requirement that applicants for certain ABC licenses provide a written statement, under oath. Instead, applicants will swear and affirm that all of the information contained in the application is true. This change will allow Virginia ABC to continue to move towards being paperless with the implementation of its new licensing system.

Higher Education Substance Abuse Advisory Committee

HB 852 and SB 120 directs Virginia ABC to establish and appoint members to the Virginia Institutions of Higher Education Substance Use Advisory Committee, with the goal of developing and updating a statewide strategic plan for substance use education, prevention and intervention at Virginia’s public and private institutions of higher education.
