Crimes: alcoholic beverages: State Capitol.

Existing law prohibits the sale or exposing for sale of any alcoholic beverage within certain specified state property, including within the State Capitol or within the limits of the grounds adjacent and belonging thereto. This bill would exempt from that prohibition an event that is held on those grounds if certain conditions are met, including, among others, that the event is organized and operated by a nonprofit organization that is located in the City of Sacramento for purposes of increasing awareness of the Sacramento region and promoting education about the food and wine of the Sacramento region, and tickets are sold on a presale basis only. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Sacramento. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
