	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2334, Nakano.  Alcoholic beverages.
   Existing law permits the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control,
under certain conditions, to revoke or suspend the licenses granted
to alcoholic beverage licensees.
   This bill would authorize the department to revoke or suspend an
alcoholic beverage license, if the licensee, or the agent or employee
of the licensee, violates a specified provision of statutory law
relating to the furnishing of drug paraphernalia.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 24200.6 is added to the Business and
Professions Code, to read:
   24200.6.  The department may revoke or suspend any license if the
licensee or the agent or employee of the licensee violates any
provision of Section 11364.7 of the Health and Safety Code.  For
purposes of this provision, a licensee, or the agent or employee of
the licensee, is deemed to have knowledge that the item or items
delivered, furnished, transferred, or possessed will be used to
plant, propagate, cultivate, grow, harvest, compound, convert,
produce, process, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store,
contain, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale, or otherwise introduce into
the human body a controlled substance, if the department or any
other state or local law enforcement agency notifies the licensee in
writing that the items, individually or in combination, are commonly
sold or marketed for that purpose.
