Section 50898
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a)  As California moves into the next century, revitalization of our downtown areas is of vital importance to every community in our state.

(b)  Downtown areas generally represent urban cores that are deficient in housing that is critical to revitalization.

(c)  Providing additional housing in downtown areas will allow workers to live closer to their place of employment and minimize the number of workers commuting from other areas.

(d)  Downtown areas frequently have many older, underutilized commercial buildings that are well suited for residential, live-work, and mixed residential and commercial use.

(e)  The development of projects that are in close proximity to transit corridors allows the workforce to use mass transit to commute to work and minimizes the use of private vehicles, easing traffic congestion and wear on our highways, and serves to improve air quality.

(2) The impact of existing electric and hydrogen truck insurance policies on emissions reductions from the heavy-duty truck sector.

(5) Additional insurance related information, including information collected pursuant to Section 938.

(6) Important timelines and specific checkpoints for monitoring insurance accessibility in advance of major regulatory deadlines for transitioning medium- and heavy-duty fleets to zero-emission technologies, and state goals for increasing the percentage of zero-emission trucks and buses in the state.

A beer manufacturer, regardless of how many beer manufacturer licenses are held by the beer manufacturer alone, under common ownership with any other licensed beer manufacturer, or under common ownership with any officer, director, employee, or agent of that beer manufacturer licensee who is operating as an on-sale retailer pursuant to this section, shall be prohibited from exercising alone or in common any combination of retail privileges authorized under this section and subdivision (c) of Section 23389 that would result in that beer manufacturer exercising retail privileges at more than eight locations, provided that, subject to the limitations of this section, no more than six of which may be on-sale licenses. This section shall not limit the number of licensed beer manufacturer locations or the exercise of retail privileges at those licensed beer manufacturer locations as authorized pursuant to Section 23357.

The Legislature further finds that the exception established by this section to the general prohibition against tied interests must be limited to its expressed terms so as not to undermine the general prohibition, and intends that this section be construed accordingly.
