LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2896, as introduced, Valencia. Alcoholic beverages: tied-house restrictions: advertising.Existing law, 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 of certain spaces, including a theme or amusement park, as specified, located in the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, or Orange County, subject to specified conditions. Existing law requires the advertising space or time to be purchased only in connection with daily activities and events at the theme or amusement park, as specified, located in the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, or Orange County. 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 additionally permit, in the case of a theme or amusement park located in Orange County, the advertising space or time to be purchased from or on behalf of an entity that is under common ownership with the theme or amusement park in connection with the activities of the entity. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Orange County.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.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
