SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Pilot project for mixed beverage licensees of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; alternative calculation for the 45 percent food-to-beverage ratio based on price paid by the licensee. Creates a two-year pilot project that directs participating mixed beverage restaurant licensees to calculate the required food-to-beverage ratio (i) on the basis of the price such licensee paid for the food, nonalcoholic beverages, and mixed beverages sold and (ii) on the basis of the price such licensee sold such food, nonalcoholic beverages, and mixed beverages to patrons. The bill provides that participating licensees shall be deemed to be in compliance with law if they meet the required food-to-beverage ratio based on either of the above calculations. The bill also requires participating licensees to serve food during any period of time mixed beverages are served and allows the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to summarily suspend the license of participants for 24 hours for violation of this requirement.
