Vote: majority   Appropriation: no   Fiscal committee: no   Local program: no

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

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.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 23957 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read:

23957.

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 shall contain the information required by this article and such other information concerning the proposed premises as the department may require to assist it in determining whether the proposed premises will qualify for a license.
