LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1330, as amended, Frazier. Alcoholic beverages: delivery: sale of draught beer. delivery and provision.
(1) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act prohibits an off-sale licensee from delivering alcoholic beverages from an order received over the telephone or other electronic means without requiring proof of age and identity when the beverages are delivered.
This bill would expand the above-described prohibition to apply to all licensees and would impose additional conditions to be met for an alcoholic beverage to be delivered to a consumer pursuant to an order received by telephone or other electronic means, including limitations on hours for delivery. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides that a violation of any of its provisions for which another penalty or punishment is not specifically provided is a misdemeanor. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose 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.
(2) Existing law requires any on-sale retail licensee that gives, sells, or otherwise dispenses draught beer to include specified information regarding the beer upon the faucet, spigot, or outlet from which the beer is drawn or in the place of service or consumption, as provided.
This bill would exempt from these requirements licensed premises operated by licensed beer manufacturers. under a beer manufacturer license.
