          SUBJECT  :   California Beer Distributor Month.

           SUMMARY  :   Proclaims the month of May 2013 as California Beer  
          Distributor Month.  Specifically,  this resolution  makes the  
          following legislative findings:

          1)Beer distributors are licensed and regulated by state and  
            government established under the 21st amendment to the United  
            States Constitution and the California Constitution; and,  
            these laws provide for an orderly distribution system that  
            gives access to markets, promotes competition, and protects  
            the public.

          2)California's beer distributors, located in all 58 California  
            counties, contribute $931,668,114 annually to California's  
            economy in direct wages and health care benefits to their  
            11,743 employees.

          3)California's beer distributors are working smarter and greener  
            every day, powering their warehouses with solar energy,  
            complying with California's rigorous diesel regulations, and  
            investing in the latest technology and innovative sustainable  
            solutions to reduce their carbon footprint business wide.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   None.
