Alcohol beverage control: events.

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides for the issuance of licenses for which various annual fees are charged depending upon the type of license issued. The act authorizes the issuance of an on-sale general license, upon application to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for consumption on the premises where sold. Existing law allows a licensee under an on-sale license to apply for an event permit to authorize, at events held no more frequently than four days in any single calendar year, the sale of beer, wine, or distilled spirits for consumption on property adjacent to the licensed premises and owned or under the control of the licensee, as specified. This bill would allow an event license to authorize the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits at up to 14 events in a single year.
