Secretary of State September 28, 2024.]
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 969, Wiener. Alcoholic beverages: entertainment zones: consumption.
The Alcoholic Be verage Control Act contains v arious pro visions 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 defines “entertainment zone” for purposes of the act as a zone created by ordinance on or after January 1, 2024, in the City and County of San Francisco, that authorizes consumption of one or more types of alcoholic beverages on public streets, sidewalks, or public rights-of-way adjacent to and during a special e vent permitted or licensed by the department. Existing law authorizes the City and County of San Francisco to establish an entertainment zone, subject to certain requirements, including pro viding specified information relating to the entertainment zone to the department and establishing a process or procedure by which persons in possession of alcoholic beverages in the entertainment zone may be readily identifiable as being 21 years of age or older.
This bill would, instead, define “entertainment zone” as a zone created by a city, county, or city and county ordinance on or after January 1, 2025, that authorizes consumption of one or more types of alcoholic be verages on public streets, side walks, or public rights-of-w ay. The bill w ould additionally authorize any city, county, or city and county to establish an entertainment zone, subject to the abo ve-described requirements. Before enacting an ordinance to establish or modify an entertainment zone, the bill would require a city , county , or city and county to notify local la w enforcement and request feedback about specific information, including, among others, the entertainment zone’s proposed boundaries and days and hours of operation. The bill would require a city, county, or city and county that establishes an entertainment zone, or its designated subordinate officer or body, to re view the operation of the entertainment zone e very 2 years following the adoption of the entertainment zone, as specified, and to make any reports produced during the re view available to the department upon request.
Existing la w authorizes a licensed beer manuf acturer, a licensed winegrower, and an y on-sale licensee to permit consumers to lea ve the
95 361820
premises with open containers of alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises within an entertainment zone, subject to certain conditions.
Existing la w specifies that a licensed beer manuf acturer, a licensed winegrower, and an y on-sale licensee whose pri vileges are restricted due to operating conditions or other statutory restrictions may be prohibited from e xercising entertainment zone pri vileges that are contrary to their operating conditions. For this purpose, existing law requires any restrictions on the exercise of off-sale privileges to apply to the remo val of alcoholic beverages from the licensed premises for consumption in the entertainment zone.
This bill would, instead, prohibit any restrictions on the exercise of off-sale privileges from applying to the remo val of open alcoholic beverages from the licensed premises for consumption in the entertainment zone.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 23358 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 2177 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2177 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
