During the course of this project, the ABC Commission approved an increase in the bailment surcharge, a fee that funds the Commission&#8217;s operations, to pay for the underage drinking prevention program, and therefore no longer needs the DHHS earmark. This report first details how DHHS uses the $1.4 million alcohol tax earmark and the potential consequences of redirecting the funding to the ABC Commission. Next, the report describes the ABC Commission&#8217;s past and present efforts to create and fund an underage drinking program, called Talk It Out. Finally, this report presents actions that the General Assembly could take to ensure the Talk It Out program is successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/ABC_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/ABC_Report_Exec_Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/ABC_Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Related Evaluations:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/2008-12-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North Carolina&#8217;s Alcohol Beverage Control System Is Outdated and Needs Modernization<\/a> (December 2008)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The impetus for this study was a request from the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Commission to the General Assembly to redirect the $1.4 million alcohol tax earmark from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and substance abuse treatment services to the ABC Commission&#8217;s underage drinking prevention initiative.
