COMMENTS:
Purpose and background. According to the author's office, this
bill is simply intended to repeal an obsolete provision of law
and clean-up the ABC Act.
The author's office notes that at the time this statute was
enacted in 1935, the Legislature's sentiment was that the sale
of liquor and wine near work camp areas should not be allowed.
It was believed that allowing such sales would invite public
drunkenness and lewd behavior in the vicinity of these camps and
contribute to diminished productivity by workers.
