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 possessed, consumed, or sold, pursuant to a license, for an event during the weekend or at other times when pupils are not on the grounds of an overnight retreat facility owned and operated by a county office of education in a county of the 18th or 20th class. This bill would expand the exception to the prohibition to allow the possession, consumption, or sale of alcoholic beverages at such a retreat facility that is owned or operated by a county office of education in a county of any class or by a school district. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 25608 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 1643 and AB 1748, to be operative only if AB 1643 and this bill, AB 1748 and this bill, or AB 1643, AB 1748, 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.
