INTRODUCED BY   Senator Mendoza

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2016

   An act to repeal Section 23792 of the Business and Professions
Code, relating to alcoholic beverages.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1105, as introduced, Mendoza. Alcoholic beverage licensees:
restrictions.
   The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains various provisions
regulating the application for, the issuance of, the suspension of,
and the conditions imposed upon, alcoholic beverage licenses by the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Existing law prohibits the
issuance of a license, other than an on-sale beer license, for
premises situated more than one mile outside the limits of an
incorporated city and within 2 miles of any camp or establishment of
men, numbering 25 or more, engaged upon or in connection with the
construction, repair, or operation of any work, improvement, or
utility of a public or quasi-public character.
   This bill would repeal that prohibition, thus authorizing the
department to issue any type of license for premises situated in the
above-described location.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 23792 of the Business and Professions Code is
repealed. 
   23792.  No license, other than an on-sale beer license, shall be
issued to any applicant for any premises situated more than one mile
outside the limits of an incorporated city and within two miles of
any camp or establishment of men, numbering 25 or more, engaged upon
or in connection with the construction, repair, or operation of any
work, improvement, or utility of a public or quasi-public character.
This section does not apply to the renewal of any licenses for any
premises which have been established and licensed under this division
at least six months prior to the establishment of the camp or
establishment of men, and such licenses, whether held by the original
licensee to whom first issued or a subsequent holder thereof, shall
be subject to transfer as to person and premises, or either, in the
same manner as any other license of the same type and character
issued by the department.
