An act to amend Section 25170 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to alcoholic beverages.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2978, as introduced, Boerner.
Alcoholic beverage control: distilled spirits.
Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the granting of licenses for the manufacture, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages within the state. Existing law prohibits a person from delivering, as specified, or possessing a container of distilled spirits that does not have a label plainly indicating certain information, including the quantity and proof strength of the contents, and makes a violation of that prohibition a misdemeanor.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that misdemeanor provision.
