## Text

SUMMARY: This rule establishes the process for a one-time stipend to be paid by the Bureau to agency liquor stores licensed as reselling agents as of July, 1, 2016, for mitigating the cost of providing on-premise sales data to the Bureau from agency liquor stores which were licensed as reselling agents as of July 1, 2016.
The criteria for determining the one-time stipend for an agency liquor store licensed as a reselling agent as of July 1, 2016, shall be as follows:
For a reselling agent that uses an electronic Point of Sale System that captures and tracks sales and that can produce the required monthly data, the Bureau shall allow a one-time stipend of up to $250.
For a reselling agent that uses an electronic Point of Sale System that captures sales and that can produce the required monthly data, the Bureau shall allow a one-time stipend of up to $250.
For a reselling agent that uses an electronic Point of Sale System that is not capable of tracking sales and that must create an alternative electronic process to meet the requirement of providing on-premise sales data to the Bureau, the Bureau shall allow a one-time stipend of up to $500.
For a reselling agent without a point of sale system that must manually track and report on-premise sales data to the Bureau, the Bureau shall allow a one-time stipend of up to $500.
The one-time stipend is intended to mitigate the costs incurred by reselling agents in complying with the new reporting requirements. Therefore, in order to receive a stipend pursuant to this rule, a reselling agent must sufficiently demonstrate to the Bureau that is has incurred such costs. Stipends will be limited to an amount equal to the actual costs incurred by the reselling agent and not to exceed the maximum amounts set forth in this rule.
