Summary

(1) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act requires the Alcoholic Beverage Control Appeals Board to establish a surcharge of up to 3 percent of the annual license fees imposed under the act to pay for the board's administrative costs. This bill would provide that the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is required to collect a surcharge of 3 percent of the annual license fees for the Alcoholic Beverage Control Appeals Board's administrative costs. (2) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides for the issuance of licenses for which various annual fees are charged depending upon the type of license issued. That law authorizes an annual adjustment of the fees, as provided, commencing with the 2010 calendar year. This bill would revise the license fee schedule to set forth the fee amounts as of the 2010 calendar year. (3) Existing law requires a retail off-sale beer and wine replacement license to be issued upon application when specified conditions exist. This bill would instead authorize a retail off-sale beer and wine replacement license to be issued under specified circumstances. This bill would also prohibit the issuance of a replacement license under specified circumstances. (4) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act prohibits the transfer of an original on-sale or off-sale general license for one year if a fee in excess of $12,000 has been paid and for 2 years if a fee of $12,000 has been paid. This bill would revise the provision to prohibit the transfer of an original on-sale or off-sale license for more than the original purchase price for a period of 2 years. (5) This bill would also make technical and conforming changes.
