Fiscal Estimate
2007 Wisconsin Act 85 established requirements for the registration of wine collectors and for the sale of wine by a wine collector. In addition, Act 85 also defined small wineries and created standards for the formation of a small winery cooperative wholesaler to distribute wine manufactured by small wineries.
As authorized by Act 85, the proposed rule, under s.
125.03 (1) (b) Stats., provides for the registration of wine collectors, establishes the standards of eligibility for the registration, and specifies the form of notice required for the sale of wine by a wine collector. In addition, under s.
125.545 Stats., the proposed rule establishes a framework to administer and enforce the requirements relating to small winery cooperative wholesalers.
While the Department of Revenue anticipates that the costs to administer the entirety of Act 85 to be $96,800 on an annualized basis, this proposed rule, which establishes requirements only for the portions of the act described above, does not have any significant fiscal effect.
