           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims the month of May 2013 as  
          California Beer Distributor Month.  

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:

          1. Beer distributors are licensed and regulated by state and  
             federal governments.  Distributors are a critical component  
             of the state-based system of alcohol regulation 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.

                                                                     Page  
          2

          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 businesswide.

          This resolution proclaims the month of May 2013 as California  
          Beer Distributor Month.
