Summary

Assembly Member Gipson's proposal to modify California's Alcoholic Beverage Control Act would permit licensed beer manufacturers and wholesalers to distribute their products via trailers, expanding upon existing provisions that allow sales from wagons and trucks to licensed retailers.

The measure adds trailers as an authorized mobile distribution method while maintaining current requirements for beer sales between licensed entities. Under existing law, beer manufacturers and wholesalers can only conduct mobile sales using wagons or trucks when serving licensees authorized to sell beer. This amendment provides an additional transportation option without altering other aspects of the mobile distribution framework.

The change affects the operational capabilities of beer manufacturers and wholesalers who hold appropriate licenses under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. While the measure requires fiscal committee review, it does not necessitate new appropriations or impact local programs. The provisions would be enforced through existing regulatory mechanisms within California's alcoholic beverage control system.
