LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1260, as amended, Yee. Alcoholic beverages: lodging
establishments.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act authorizes motels and hotels
having an on-sale general license for restricted service lodging
establishments, as described, to sell or furnish alcoholic beverages
for consumption on the premises by specified means.
This bill would extend that authorization to allow those motels
and hotels having an on-sale general license for restricted service
lodging establishments to sell beer and wine for consumption on the
premises, where the beer or wine is sold in a food sale area, as
defined, located within the lodging establishment.
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, the 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.
