Bill	Alcoholic beverages: tied-house restrictions.	The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act contains limitations on sales commonly known as "tied-house" restrictions, which generally prohibit a manufacturer, winegrower, manufacturer's agent, California winegrower's agent, rectifier, distiller, bottler, importer, or wholesaler from furnishing, giving, or lending any money or other thing of value to any person engaged in operating, owning, or maintaining any off-sale licensed premises. Existing law exempts from specified tied-house restrictions the occasional inspection and cleaning by beer manufacturers and wholesalers of beer taps and tapping equipment, as provided. Existing law also permits a beer manufacturer or beer wholesaler to furnish, give, rent, lend, or sell, any equipment, fixtures, or supplies, other than alcoholic beverages, to a retailer whose equipment, fixtures, or supplies were lost or damaged as a result of a natural disaster, as provided.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 573	California AB 573 (20112012)	bill	Alcoholic beverages: tied-house restrictions.	enacted	Chesbro	6	24	7	2011-02-16	2012-09-19	openstates	ocd-bill/104a57af-cb88-4a0b-98bc-5cea3a34af07	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB573	c584ada6ab936c8c96e8e9ccd216d47c868e41038ae639c30132d82443ed152a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
