A Bhumjaithai-backed proposal would replace Thai PBS's earmarked alcohol and tobacco excise funding (1.5% of collections, capped at 2 billion baht a year) with allocations from the national budget, and would also review ThaiHealth, the Elderly Fund and the National Sports Development Fund. Public consultation runs 30 September to 14 October. The article says the bill is unlikely to pass this parliamentary session, so nothing changes for businesses in the near term. Only sector-level watchers such as media, advertising and alcohol/tobacco-linked firms need to follow it.
