  1 10                           EXPLANATION
  1 11    This bill provides an appropriation for substance abuse
  1 12 treatment and prevention for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
  1 13 2006.
  1 14    Under current law in Code section 123.53, 7 percent of the
  1 15 gross receipts from the sale of liquor by the alcoholic
  1 16 beverages division of the department of commerce and from
  1 17 permit and license fees is set aside in a separate account.
  1 18 The actual amount from that percentage set aside is required
  1 19 to be at least $2 million but not more than $9 million and the
  1 20 remainder is credited to the general fund of the state.  The
  1 21 separate account is designated for annual appropriation to the
  1 22 department of public health for substance abuse treatment and
  1 23 prevention in an amount to be determined by the general
  1 24 assembly.
  1 25    In 2006 Iowa Acts, chapter 1185, the amount designated for
  1 26 appropriation by the general assembly for purposes of the
  1 27 special account was zero.  The bill changes the zero amount to
  1 28 $9 million and this change is made retroactive to July 1,
  1 29 2006.  The bill takes effect upon enactment.
