CA AB933

Authorizes licensed distilled spirits manufacturers to conduct tastings on or off their premises, and allows them to charge consumers for tastings conducted on their licensed premises.

Limits on-premises tastings to a maximum of one-fourth ounce per taste and no more than 6 tastes per individual per day, with tastings not permitted in cocktail or mixed drink form.

Requires persons under 21 years of age to be prohibited from serving tastes, and restricts off-premises tastings to nonprofit organization-sponsored events where no sales or solicitations occur.

Extends the same tasting authorization and conditions to brandy manufacturers through new Section 23363.3 of the Business and Professions Code.

Exempts this legislation from state reimbursement requirements to local agencies and school districts under Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
