INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Evans

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Section 23396.5 of the Business and Professions

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1470, as amended, Evans. Alcoholic beverage  licensees:
winegrowers.   licensees. 
   The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains various provisions
regulating the application for, the issuance of, the suspension of,
and the conditions imposed upon, alcoholic beverage licenses by the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Under existing law, a
licensed winegrower that is exercising specified privileges may allow
a person who has purchased and partially consumed a bottle of wine
to remove that bottle from the premises upon departure.
   This bill would  also authorize an on-sale beer and wine
public premises licensee to allow a person who has purchased and
partially consumed a bottle of wine to remove the partially consumed
bottle from the premises upon departure. The bill would 
restrict the authorization of licensed winegrowers to allow a person
who has purchased and partially consumed a bottle of wine to remove
that bottle from the premises to those licensed winegrowers
exercising the privilege of selling wine to consumers for consumption
on the premises.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 23396.5 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   23396.5.  Notwithstanding any other  of  law, any
on-sale licensee  , which   that 
maintains a bona fide eating place in conjunction with such license,
 any on-sale beer and wine public premises licensee,  or any
winegrower that is exercising a privilege pursuant to paragraph (3)
of subdivision (a) of Section 23358  ,  may allow
any person who has purchased and partially consumed a bottle of wine
to remove the partially consumed bottle from the premises upon
departure.
