Summary

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains various provisions regulating the application for, the issuance of, the suspension of, and the conditions imposed upon, alcoholic beverage licenses by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The act permits the holder of a manufacturer's license to sell alcoholic beverages to specified licensed parties only and not to the general public. The act provides that a violation of its provisions is a misdemeanor, unless otherwise specified. This bill would authorize distilled spirits manufacturers to sell general merchandise, food, nonalcoholic beverages, and distilled spirits to consumers for consumption on the licensed premises where sold. Because the violation of a provision of a license is punishable as a misdemeanor and the bill would broaden the range of activities a distilled spirits manufacturer's license authorizes, the bill would expand the definition of an existing crime, thereby imposing 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.
