The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains various provisions 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 provides that a licensee whose licensed premises were destroyed as a result of fire or any act of God or other force beyond the control of the licensee may carry on his or her business for a period of up to 180 days or six months, as applicable, at a location within 500 feet of the licensed premises while the destroyed premises are being repaired or rebuilt.
This bill would revise these provisions to authorize a licensee to carry on its business at a substitute location, within 1,000 feet of the destroyed premises for a period of up to 180 days. The bill would authorize the Director of Alcoholic Beverage Control to extend that time period, as provided.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
