Alcoholic beverage control: public community college stadiums: City of Bakersfield.

Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, generally prohibits the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages at a public schoolhouse or the grounds of the schoolhouse. Existing law makes various exceptions to this prohibition, including alcoholic beverages that are acquired, possessed, or used during events at a college-owned or college-operated stadium or veterans stadium with a capacity of over 12,000 people, located in a county with a population of over 6,000,000 people. Existing law defines "events" for purposes of that exception to mean football games sponsored by a college, other than a public community college, or other events sponsored by noncollege groups. This bill would add an exception to the above-described prohibition for alcoholic beverages that are acquired, possessed, or used during events at a public community college stadium with a capacity of 19,000 or more people in the City of Bakersfield. The bill would define "events" for this purpose to mean sporting events or concerts sponsored by a public community college or other events sponsored by noncollege groups. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Bakersfield.
