A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to modify the renewal fees for beer and wine permits.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 18B‑903(b1) reads as rewritten:
"(b1)	Registration. – Each person holding a malt beverage, fortified wine, or unfortified wine permit issued pursuant to G.S. 18B‑902(d)(1) through G.S. 18B‑902(d)(6) shall register by May 1 of each year on a form provided by the Commission, in order to provide information needed by the State in enforcing this Chapter and to support the costs of that enforcement. The registration required by this subsection shall be accompanied by an annual registration and inspection fee, which shall be paid by May 1 of each year. A registration fee shall not be refundable. Failure to pay the annual registration and inspection fee shall result in revocation of the permit. The annual registration and inspection fee for each permit shall be as follows:
(1)	If the net profits for sales under the permit for the previous year were less than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), the fee shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00).
(2)	If the net profits for sales under the permit for the previous year were at least two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), but less than five thousand dollars ($5,000), the fee shall be two hundred dollars ($200.00).
(3)	If the net profits for sales under the permit for the previous year were five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more, the fee shall be four hundred dollars ($400.00)."
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law and applies to registration fees paid for the year beginning May 1, 2017.
