Alcoholic beverages: licenses: local government review.

Existing law requires the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to notify the appropriate sheriff, chief of police, district attorney, city or county planning agency, and legislative body of an application for the issuance or transfer of a liquor license, and prohibits the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control from issuing or transferring a license until at least 30 days after these notices are provided. Existing law authorizes the department to extend that 30-day period for a period not to exceed an additional 20 days if a proper written request is made by any local law enforcement agency. This bill would authorize the department to extend the 30-day period for a period not to exceed an additional 30 days if a proper written request is made by any entity or official receiving the required notification.
