Summary

The bill revises California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Act to allow beer to be made from additional grains and adjuncts, shortens the grace period for unpaid wholesale invoices from 42 to 30 days, and requires electronic funds transfers for most retailer‑wholesaler payments. It also sets how payment‑processor fees are shared and clarifies that local governments won’t be reimbursed for any costs the law creates.
