Quick answers
Did CA AB 2751 pass?
Yes. CA AB 2751 has been enacted into law. Latest recorded action (2026-09-27): Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 635, Statutes of 2026.
What is CA AB 2751 about?
The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act imposes restrictions on the means and manner by which alcoholic beverages are imported into the state for delivery or use within the state, as provided. Existing law provides an exception to these restrictions that allows an adult to bring a reasonable amount of alcoholic beverages into this state from without the United States for personal or household use. Existing law limits that personal or household use exception by restricting a California resident returning to the United States by a vehicle that is not a common carrier, or any adult entering the United States as a pedestrian, to the amount of alcoholic beverages that is exempt from the payment of duty in accordance with existing provisions of federal law. This bill would instead limit the personal or household use exception by restricting any adult entering the United States as a pedestrian or by a vehicle that is not a common carrier to 6 liters of alcoholic beverages every 31 days.
Who sponsors CA AB 2751?
Alvarez is the primary sponsor of CA AB 2751.
