           Existing Law
           
          Existing law establishes the Department of Alcoholic 
          Beverage Control (ABC) and grants it exclusive authority to 
          administer the provisions of the ABC Act in accordance with

                                                               AB 1419

          individuals and businesses associated with the manufacture, 
          importation and sale of alcoholic beverages in this state 
          and the collection of license fees or occupation taxes for 
          this purpose.

          Existing law requires the Department of ABC to prepare an 
          annual report to the Legislature on the department's 
          activities on or before March 1 of each year.

          This bill changes the due date on the Department of 
          Alcoholic Beverage Control's annual report to the 
          Legislature from March 1 of each year to March 31.

           Background
           
          Existing law requires the Director of ABC, on or before 
          March 1 of each year, to submit to the Legislature an 
          annual report on the department's activities.  The law 
          provides that the report must include, but not be limited 
          to, the following information for the previous calendar 
          year: (a) the amount of funds allocated and spent by ABC 
          for licensing, enforcement, and administration; (b) the 
          number of licenses issued, renewed, denied, suspended and 
          revoked; (c) the average time for processing license 
          applications; (d) the number and type of enforcement 
          activities; and, (e) the number, type, and amount of 
          penalties, fines, and other disciplinary actions.

          This bill extends the due date of the above-referenced 
          report from March 1 of each year to March 31 of each year.

           Prior/Related Legislation
           
          SB 1480 (Senate Governmental Organization Committee), 
          Chapter 296, Statutes of 2010, deletes the requirement that 
          the Director of ABC include recommendations for legislation 
          in the annual ABC report to the Legislature.
