Alcoholic beverages: advertising: San Diego: Inglewood.

Existing law generally prohibits various licenseholders from providing money or any other thing of value to a person owning or operating an on-sale premises where alcoholic beverages are served, subject to specified exceptions. Existing law authorizes the holder of a winegrower's license, a beer manufacturer, a distilled spirits rectifier, a distilled spirits manufacturer, and a distilled spirits manufacturer's agent to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee, under certain conditions, if the on-sale retail licensee is the owner, manager, agent of the owner, assignee of the owner's advertising rights, or major tenant of specified facilities. Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to coerce or solicit licensees in connection with these provisions, as specified. This bill would expand the facilities to which the exception described above would apply to include outdoor stadiums with specified seating capacities located in the Cities of San Diego and Inglewood, as provided. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Cities of San Diego and Inglewood. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
