California Legislature—2013–14 Regular Session

Assembly BillNo. 520


Introduced by Assembly Member Chesbro

February 20, 2013


An act to amend Section 23399.3 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to alcoholic beverages.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 520, as introduced, Chesbro. Alcoholic beverages: licenses.

Existing law authorizes a special beer and wine license for hospitals, convalescent homes, and rest homes that permits the sale or service of beer and wine purchased from a licensed winegrower or beer and wine wholesaler only to patients or residents of those facilities. Existing law provides that a rest home includes an apartment building, whether licensed or unlicensed, that rents exclusively to persons age 62 and older and provides one to 3 meals daily for tenants.

This bill would replace the term “rest homes” with “senior care facilities” for purposes of these provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
