BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, statutory provisions and rules for certain
permit holders did not apply to a food and beverage certificate holder
unless the statutory provisions and rules specifically referred to the food
and beverage certificate holder.  House Bill 1793 modifies language to
delete that requirement. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 1793 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to provide that surety
bond requirements do not apply to a holder of a food and beverage
certificate under provisions relating to a holder of a wine and beer
retailer's permit, a mixed beverage permit, a private club registration
permit, or a retail dealer's on-premise license. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
