(1) The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act generally prohibits a manufacturer, winegrower, distiller, bottler, or wholesaler, among other licensees, or agents of these licensees, from paying a retailer for advertising. The act creates a variety of exceptions from this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee that is an owner, manager, or major tenant of certain stadiums, parks, entertainment complexes, and arenas, subject to specified conditions. Existing law requires the purchase of advertising space or time in this context to be conducted pursuant to a written contract with the on-sale licensee, with a specified exception. Existing law defines a beer manufacturer for these specific purposes as including any holder of an out-of-state beer manufacturer's certificate or any holder of a beer and wine importer's general license. Existing law makes it a crime for an on-sale licensee to coerce certain licensees to purchase advertising space or time, as specified. This bill would expand the exceptions described above to allow beer manufacturers, winegrowers, distilled spirits rectifiers, distilled spirits manufacturers, or distilled spirits manufacturer's agents to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, on-sale retail licensees, as described above, at a specified complex located on the campus of, and owned by, Sonoma State University. The bill would permit the contract for purchasing space or time in this context to also be with an owner, long-term tenant of the venue, or licensee of the venue. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law permits specified alcoholic beverage licensees to donate money and sponsor events at certain sites and facilities. This bill would permit a holder of a winegrower's license, a beer manufacturer, as defined, a distilled spirits rectifier, a distilled spirits manufacturer, or distilled spirits manufacturer's agent to donate wine, beer, or spirits, and make monetary contributions to a specified complex located on the campus of, and owned by, Sonoma State University, if certain conditions are met. (3) This bill would incorporate changes to Section 25503.6 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by both this bill and SB 557, which would become operative only if both bills are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2016, and this bill is chaptered last. (4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. (5) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
