RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 319 (SB 223) 2024 Regular Session Owen
Existing law provides for the regulation of alcoholic beverages by the Dept. of Revenue,
office of alcohol and tobacco control.
Prior law defined "solicitor" as any person who offers for sale or solicits any orders for the
sale of any regulated beverage, other than in a regularly established and licensed place of
business in this state, for delivery or shipment to any point in the state, whether done as
owner, agent, or servant.
Existing law defines "dealer" as any person who, as a business, manufactures, blends,
rectifies, distills, processes, imports, stores, uses, handles, holds, sells, offers for sale, solicits
orders for the sale of, distributes, delivers, serves, or transports any alcoholic beverage in the
state or engages herein in any business transaction relating to any such beverage.
New law retains prior law but excludes from the definition of solicitor employee of a dealer.
Effective August 1, 2024.
