California AB445 regulates the distribution and record-keeping of retail advertising glassware for beer manufacturers and on-sale retail licensees.

California AB445 amends the Business and Professions Code to allow beer manufacturers to provide up to five cases of retail advertising glassware to on-sale retail licensees annually, free of charge. These licensees can accept up to 10 cases per year but cannot sell or return the glassware for compensation. Both parties must maintain records of these transactions for three years. Beer wholesalers are prohibited from funding or managing glassware costs or logistics.
