Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to providing a multiple event caterer's permit
Purpose
To provide for a multiple event caterer's permit.
Existing law
Current law requires caterers to apply for a separate permit for each function.
Justification
Under current law, Section 9R of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law provides that caterers must apply to the State Liquor Authority for a permit each time that they wish to serve alcoholic beverages for a function or occasion at a hotel. restaurant, club, ballroom or other premises. Having to apply for a permit for each function can be extremely burdensome for caterers who make their living providing food and beverages at various locations. This bill would facilitate operations for caterers, many of which are small businesses, and would reduce the number of caterer's permit applications which the State Liquor Authority would be required to review.
Caterers with a multiple event caterer's permit would be required to provide the State Liquor Authority with information, as specified by the Liquor Authority, regarding each function or event that the caterer plans to serve at least five business days prior to each function or event. The annual fee for a multiple event caterer's permit would be $250
