Summary

The law allows the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to issue no more than 12 new neighborhood‑restricted on‑sale general licenses each year to qualifying public eating places in designated census tracts of Los Angeles County, with a total cap of 40 licenses. It sets strict eligibility rules, limits transfers, and bars sales above the original fee. The measure aims to address the unique liquor‑license market conditions in those neighborhoods.
