nonprofit corporation. Specifically, this bill:
1)Clarifies that a nonretail licensee may not receive any
advertising, sale, or promotional benefit from any permanent
retail licensee in connection with the event.
2)Clarifies how a nonretail licensee can advertise or
communicate sponsorship or participation in the event.
FISCAL EFFECT:
No additional state costs.
COMMENTS:
Purpose and background. This bill is intended to be the annual
Assembly Governmental Organization Committee "clean-up" bill
that makes clarifying, technical, and non-controversial changes
to existing statute.
According to the Committee, this bill corrects a drafting error
in AB 776 (Cooper), Statutes of 2015. That bill authorized
licensed alcoholic beverage manufacturers and retailers to
participate together in sponsoring and promoting events
conducted by, and for the benefit of, nonprofit organizations,
subject to certain conditions. As drafted, the bill prohibited a
"retail" licensee from receiving any advertising, sale or
promotional benefit from any permanent retail licensee in
connection with the sponsorship or participation. This bill
instead would prohibit a "nonretail" licensee from receiving
that advertising, sale, or promotional benefit. In addition, the
bill makes a clarifying change to the manner upon which a
AB 2913

nonretail licensee may advertise or communicate sponsorship or
participation in the event.
