BEER TAX
Money from the Alcoholic Beverage and Substance Abuse Enforcement and Treatment Restricted Account is distributed yearly to counties and municipalities as spelled out in statute 32b-2-4. The Legislature intends for this money to be used in a balanced approach to reducing the harmful effects of substance abuse, overconsumption of alcoholic products by adults, and alcohol consumption by minors. To this end, the Legislature encourages municipalities and counties receiving money under this part to use the most effective formula allocation to fund evidence-based and evidence-informed prevention programs.
Beer Tax Annual Report
No later than October 1st of each year counties and municipalities receiving Beer Tax Funds are required to report on their expenditures under the program to the USAAV+ Council. Using these reports, the Beer Tax Program Manager compiles data to present in the annual Beer Tax Report.
