Bill overview
This bill clarifies the definition of a ‘successor beer manufacturer’ under California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. It expands the definition to include any person, licensed or unlicensed, who acquires the rights to manufacture, import, or distribute beer. The bill outlines a process for determining the fair market value of distribution rights when a manufacturer replaces a wholesaler, requiring notification, good-faith negotiation, and potentially arbitration if an agreement can’t be reached. It also aims to streamline the process and ensure continued product distribution.
