Alcoholic beverages: applications for licenses.
Summary
Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, requires the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to administer the act and perform various duties relating to the issuance of alcoholic beverage licences. Existing law requires applications for licenses for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages for premises which are to be constructed or which are in the process of construction to contain specified information to assist the department in determining if the proposed premises will qualify for a license. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The differences are entirely formatting and presentation: the first version is the raw introduced bill text with line numbers and page markers, while the second is a web page rendering of the same bill from the California legislature website, complete with navigation menus, search tools, and UI elements.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted from a plain-text legislative document (with line numbers and page breaks) into a web page layout that includes site navigation, search fields, tracking links, and other interface elements. The underlying statutory language of Section 23957 is unchanged.
