Alcoholic beverage licenses: off-sale privileges: airports.

Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses. Existing law authorizes specified licensees to sell alcoholic beverage for off-sale consumption for which their license permits on-sale consumption, subject to specified requirements, including that the beverages are packaged in specified containers. This bill would authorize an airport operator, as defined, to permit or prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages for off-sale consumption by the holder of an on-sale license located in an airport terminal. If so permitted, the bill would authorize the on-sale licensee to sell alcoholic beverages for off-sale consumption in the airport terminal subject to specified requirements, including that the license permits on-sale consumption of the type of alcohol being sold for off-sale consumption. The bill would require the licensee to notify the department before selling any alcoholic beverages for off-sale consumption in the airport terminal. The bill would authorize the department to impose conditions on a licensee selling alcoholic beverages under these provisions and would permit a licensee to petition the department to modify or remove a condition within 10 days following imposition of the condition, as provided.
