INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Yee

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2005

   An act to amend Section 24072 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to alcoholic beverages.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1207, as introduced, Yee.   Alcoholic beverages: licenses:
transfers.
   The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act sets forth the procedures for
applying for a liquor license. Existing law also establishes the
procedures for the transfer of an existing liquor license. Existing
law contains a schedule of fees that apply to specified transfers of
liquor licenses.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to the
provision that sets forth the fees for transfers of liquor licenses
to eliminate a reference to a code section that has been repealed.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

person, as provided by this section.
   All money collected from the fees provided for in this section
shall be deposited in the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund as provided
