Title

Alcoholic beverages, nonprofit special events retail license, eligibility, fees, application, alternate event date or location, exemption from license under certain circumstances, license requirement removed, Sec. 28-3A-6 am'd.

Description

Existing law provides for a special events retail license for the sale of beer, wine, and liquor.

This bill would provide for the issuance of a nonprofit special events retail license for the sale of beer, wine, and liquor; specify who may receive the license; establish fees for the license; provide for a procedure to protest issuance of the license; and provide for an alternate event date or location.

This bill would specify that an organization that otherwise qualifies for a nonprofit special events retail license may serve alcoholic beverages without a license as long as no alcoholic beverages are sold by the drink and any fee or cost of admission to the event is uniform regardless of whether participants consume alcohol.

Existing law authorizes a manufacturer licensee of beer or wine to donate its product to a licensed charitable special event operated by a nonprofit organization.

This bill would remove the requirement that the charitable special event be licensed by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.

This bill would also provide the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board with rulemaking authority to implement and administer this act.
