LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law requires any on-sale retail licensee that gives, sells, or otherwise dispenses draught beer to include specified information about the beer upon the faucet, spigot, or outlet from which the beer is drawn or in the place of service and consumption, as provided.

This bill would exempt from these labeling requirements premises operated under a beer manufacturer license.

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

SECTION 1.

Section 25613 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read:

25613.

Every holder of an (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), an on-sale retail license licensee who gives, sells, or otherwise dispenses any draught beer shall, upon the faucet, spigot, or outlet from which the beer is drawn, attach and keep posted a clear and legible notice, placard, or marker which shall in the English language indicate and declare the name or brand adopted by the manufacturer of the draught beer so given, sold, or dispensed by the licensee. If the faucet, spigot, or other drawing device is in a location not within the room of the place of service and consumption of the beer, there shall also be kept posted a similar notice, placard, or marker in the place of service and consumption of the beer which shall truthfully state and indicate only the kinds and brands of draught beer actually on sale in the premises of the on-sale licensee.
