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

  SECTION 1.  Section 23321.7 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   23321.7.   The   An    on-sale
general bona fide public eating place intermittent dockside license
for vessels of more than 7,000 tons displacement may be issued for
any vessel of more than 7,000 tons displacement with cabin berth
capacity for at least 75 passengers. Each license issuable under this
section shall be used only in the county where issued, but a vessel
qualified under this section may be issued such a license in more
than one county. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 23397, the
licensee under each  such  license shall be
authorized to sell alcoholic beverages to the general public aboard
the vessel respecting which the license is issued when the vessel is
securely lashed on berth in the county for which the license is
issued, provided that  such   these  sales
are incidental to the passenger operations of  such 
 the  vessel and  such   the 
beverages are purchased from persons licensed to sell alcoholic
beverages for resale in this state. In no event shall the rights
under  any such   a  license  issued
under this section  be exercised in any county during more than
100 calendar days in any calendar year. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 23815) of Chapter

no limitation, other than provided in this section, on the number of
licenses that may be issued under this section to applicants who meet
its requirements. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
section, all provisions of this division shall apply to any license
issued under this section in the same manner as  such
  those  provisions apply to an on-sale general
license issued for a bona fide public eating place, provided that no
caterer's permit may be issued pursuant to Section 23399 with respect
to any license issued hereunder, and provided further that any
duplicate license issued pursuant to Section 24042 respecting
 such   that  vessel shall bear the same
