Alcoholic beverage control; displays of wine and beer. Requires persons licensed to sell wine and beer for off-premises consumption that display such wine and beer outside a clearly discernible location reserved for alcoholic beverages to (i) not place such wine or beer in an area immediately adjacent to nonalcoholic beverages containing the same or similar brand name, logo, or packaging as an alcoholic beverage and (ii) equip any such display with signage that indicates the product is an alcoholic beverage, is clearly visible to consumers, and is of sufficient size to notify the consumer that the product contains alcohol. The bill clarifies that its provisions do not prohibit the placement of nonalcoholic wine or beer in or near a display of alcoholic beverages that contain the same or similar brand name, logo, or packaging as the nonalcoholic wine or beer. This bill is identical to SB 809.
