Alcoholic beverages: retail on-sale license: off-sale privileges.

Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses.

Existing law, until December 31, 2026, authorizes the holder of an on-sale license for a bona fide public eating place that has off-sale privileges, or a licensed beer manufacturer, licensed wine manufacturer, or licensed craft distiller that operates a bona fide public eating place at its premises of production, to sell distilled spirits in manufacturer-prepackaged containers and alcoholic beverages other than beer that are not in manufacturer-prepackaged containers for off-sale consumption if specified conditions are met.

This bill would extend those provisions until December 31, 2029.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
