The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act authorizes the issuance of a special temporary on-sale and off-sale beer and wine license to a nonprofit corporation, as specified, in accordance with, among other things, a requirement that this license shall be issued only once in any 12-month period. Existing law also restricts alcoholic beverages from being sold at less than the minimum retail price by a nonprofit corporation.
This bill would provide that a special temporary license shall be issued only once in a calendar year, and would allow alcohol to be sold at less than minimum retail price by a nonprofit charitable corporation, as specified.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
