Sponsor's memo

Title of bill

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to purchasing by two or more licensed retailers

Purpose

To allow for pooled purchasing by licensed retailers.

Summary of provisions

Section one of the bill provides for cooperative agreements so that liquor stores may agree to jointly purchase larger, more cost effective, quantities than would be possible without cooperative agreements.

Section two of this bill provides an immediate effective date.

Existing law

Each liquor store must make its own separate purchases.

Justification

Small liquor stores are unable to get the quantity discounts currently available to larger liquor stores. This would provide a way for such liquor stores to remain competitive.
