	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 120, Roth. Intoxicating liquors.
   Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to sell, or expose for sale,
any intoxicating liquor within one mile of the entrance to La Sierra
College in the City of Riverside, as provided. A person who violates
this provision is subject to a fine of not less than $100,
imprisonment in a county jail of not less than 50 days nor more than
one year, or both that fine and imprisonment.
   This bill would reduce that distance to one-half mile.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
