Alcoholic beverages: places of consumption.

Existing law generally prohibits the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages at a public schoolhouse or any grounds thereof. Existing law provides that this prohibition does not apply if the alcoholic beverage is acquired, possessed, or used during events at a college-owned or college-operated stadium or other facility, but specifies that the exemption does not apply to any public education facility in which any grade from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, is schooled. This bill would provide that the prohibition against the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the grounds of a public schoolhouse does not apply if the alcoholic beverages are acquired, possessed, or used during events at a community college-owned facility in which any grade from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, is schooled, if the event is held at a time when students are not present at the facility. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 25608 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 1860 and AB 1748, to be operative only if AB 1748 and this bill, AB 1860 and this bill, or AB 1748, AB 1860, and this bill are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2011, as specified. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
