	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1774, Chesbro.  Alcoholic beverages:  licenses:  separate
locations.
   Existing law requires separate alcoholic beverage licenses to be
issued by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for each of
the premises of any business establishment having more than one
location, except as otherwise specified.
   This bill would permit any manufacturer, importer, or wholesaler
to receive, store, and deliver wine as specified in its license, at
and from a public warehouse licensed by the department, without
holding an additional license at the warehouse.  However, an
out-of-state business whose alcoholic beverages come to rest, are
stored, and shipped from a public warehouse in California would be
required by this bill to hold a license at a public warehouse.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 24041 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   24041.  Separate licenses shall be issued for each of the premises
of any business establishment having more than one location, except
as provided for in Sections 23355.1, 23388, 23389, and 23390, except
that any manufacturer, importer, or wholesaler may receive, store,
and deliver wine as specified in its license, at and from a public
warehouse licensed by the department, without holding an additional
license at the warehouse.  A license at a public warehouse shall be
required by an out-of-state business whose alcoholic beverages come
to rest, are stored, and shipped from a public warehouse in
California.  The holder of a public warehouse license maintaining or
operating more than one public warehouse in this state shall be
required to obtain but one license for all of his or her public
warehouse establishments. A copy of the original public warehouse
license issued to a public warehouseman maintaining or operating more
than one public warehouse in this state shall be posted in each of
his or her public warehouse establishments. A charge of one dollar
($1) shall be made by the department for each copy of a public
warehouse license issued to a public warehouseman.
