Makes major revisions to provisions of the alcoholic beverage control law relating to the issuance of licenses and hours of operation

Summary

The legislation updates the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Law by letting on‑premises licensees apply for special permits to stay open between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., allowing limited weekly bottle purchases from off‑premises retailers, and broadening the range of non‑alcoholic items a licensee may sell on the premises. It also relaxes restrictions on wholesalers, letting them carry certain snack foods and promotional items. These changes aim to give bars, restaurants, and retailers more flexibility while setting clear limits and fees.
