Alcoholic beverages: licensing exemptions: barbering and cosmetology services.

Existing law generally prohibits anyone from manufacturing, importing, or selling alcoholic beverages in California without a license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Existing law creates certain exceptions from this proscription, including by allowing the serving of beer or wine without a license or permit as part of a beauty salon service or barber shop service, subject to additional restrictions on the sizes of the beverages and hours of service. This bill would revise the exception described above to instead apply to the serving of beer or wine as part of any service provided by an establishment that is subject to regulation by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.
