Alcoholic beverage licensees: events: sponsorship and participation.

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act regulates the application for, the issuance of, the suspension of, and the conditions imposed upon, various alcoholic beverage licenses pursuant to which the licensees may exercise specified privileges in the state. Existing law authorizes licensees to sponsor or otherwise participate in an event conducted by, and for the benefit of, a nonprofit organization subject to specified conditions, including, except as otherwise provided, that a retail licensee shall not give, sell, or furnish any alcoholic beverages to the temporary licensee. This bill would revise this provision to provide that, except as otherwise provided, a retail licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, give, sell, or furnish any alcoholic beverages to the temporary licensee.
