Summary
Existing law authorizes the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in its discretion, to issue an interim retail permit to an applicant for any retail license to operate the premises during the period an application for a license at the premises is pending, subject to specified conditions. This bill would revise the authorization of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to, in its discretion, issue an interim operating permit to an applicant for any license to operate the premises during the period an application for a license at the premises is pending, subject to specified condition applicable to all licensees or retail licensees only. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides that a violation of any of its provisions for which another penalty or punishment is not specifically provided is a misdemeanor. This bill would expand existing crimes by imposing additional duties on a licensee under the act, thus, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
