GCVCC Legislative Update 2020
GCVCC Opposes AB 2466
AB 2466 would, subject to specified exemptions, impose a fee on every distributor, as defined, for the privilege of distributing bottled sugary drinks and concentrate in the state, at a rate of $0.02 per fluid ounce and for the privilege of distributing syrups and powders in this state, either as concentrate or as sweetened beverages derived from that concentrate, at the rate of $0.02 per fluid ounce of sweetened beverage to be produced from concentrate. The bill would require the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to administer and collect the fee pursuant to the Fee Collection Procedures Law and to register the distributors upon whom the fee is imposed, and would authorize the department to promulgate and enforce regulations related to administration of the fee.
