Tied-house restrictions: advertising exceptions: City of Oceanside.Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses. Existing law, known as tied-house restrictions, generally prohibits specified licensees, or their officers, directors, or agents, from giving or lending money or a thing of value to a person operating, owning, or maintaining any on-sale premises where alcoholic beverages are sold. In this regard, existing law specifically prohibits paying a retailer for advertising. Existing law creates a variety of exceptions to this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale licensee that is the owner, manager, agent or assignee of the owner, or major tenant of the owner of certain venues. Existing law makes specified violations of these advertising provisions punishable as a misdemeanor.This bill would expand the above-described exception to tied-house restrictions that allows for the purchase of advertising by extending it to a fully enclosed arena with a fixed seating capacity in excess of 5,000 seats located in the City of Oceanside.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Oceanside.This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.Digest Key Vote: 2/3 Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
