Louisiana considers doubling liquor tax for compensation fund
Two unprecedented bills would tax liquor and beer to fund intoxication related costs. Proposals call for determining intoxication in offenses, additional penalties, and weekly dependents’ payments for jailed or institutionalized defendants. A 10 percent liquor tax and 6 cent per gallon levy would create a fund overseen by a governor appointee, with payments to families based on number of dependents. The measures aim to offset prosecutions, care, and damages tied to intoxication. The committee will hear the bills Tuesday as the session nears its sixth week.
