AB 573 California Assembly · 2011-2012 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages: tied-house restrictions.

Summary
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains limitations on sales commonly known as "tied-house" restrictions, which generally prohibit a manufacturer, winegrower, manufacturer's agent, California winegrower's agent, rectifier, distiller, bottler, importer, or wholesaler from furnishing, giving, or lending any money or other thing of value to any person engaged in operating, owning, or maintaining any off-sale licensed premises. Existing law exempts from specified tied-house restrictions the occasional inspection and cleaning by beer manufacturers and wholesalers of beer taps and tapping equipment, as provided. Existing law also permits a beer manufacturer or beer wholesaler to furnish, give, rent, lend, or sell, any equipment, fixtures, or supplies, other than alcoholic beverages, to a retailer whose equipment, fixtures, or supplies were lost or damaged as a result of a natural disaster, as provided. This bill would expand these exemptions from tied-house restrictions to include all alcoholic beverage manufacturers and wholesalers.
