5 Keys Summary

• The California State agency responsible for approving and regulating the issuance and transfer of liquor licenses is the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

• The authority of the ABC is established pursuant to the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.

• The ABC has the power to deny, suspend, or revoke an alcoholic beverage license for good cause.

• The ABC investigates each license applicant and may disapprove a license if the location is in the immediate vicinity of a school or church, or if it would create or aggravate a police problem.

• To transfer a license, the applicant and current licensee must file a notice of intended transfer with the county recorder and establish an escrow before filing the license transfer application with the ABC.
