                        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.
   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  and a licensed winegrower who exercises his or
her license privileges at specified locations  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 law, any on-sale licensee 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  
Section 23358 or 23390  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.
