TO; BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR tra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: May 8, 1985 County
SUBJECT: AB 2546 (WATERS) - TEENAGE DISCO BARS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Support AB 2546 (Waters) for .regulating of teenage disco bars, but recommend that such
legislation be admended to make it effective within the County only upon adoption of a
resolution by the Board of Supervisors.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Existing law does not regulate nor require cities and counties to regulate teenage disco bars.
This bill would require each city, county, or city and county, including a charter city,
which licenses any business establishment which is operated and maintained asa "teenage
disco bar" to require the proprietor to comply with specified requirements. These include
reporting suspected violation of laws prohibiting alcohol and drugs to local law enforcement
agencies, requiring proof of age "identification for each minor entering the establishment,
and requiring persons 18 years of age or under to vacate the premises not later than 10 p.m.
on weeknights and 12 midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and other -nights.
This proposed legislation was submitted to the District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, County
Counsel and city police chiefs. No agency replied that teenage disco bars are -currently a
problem within the County except the City of Concord, which indicates it will go on record
as supporting the bill. Currently, the bill permits the legislative body of a. city or county
to waive the applicability of the bill to the city or county. It has been. suggested that the
bill be amended so that, if enacted, it would not go into effect except upon resolution of
a County Board of Supervisors or a City Council.
