AB 2751 would standardize personal alcohol import limits at land ports; committee advances the bill
Summary
AB 27 51, presented by Assemblymember Alvarez, would set the personal importation limit for travelers entering California by land to 6 liters per 31 days to align with limits for air and seaport arrivals; sponsor said the change fixes an inconsistency affecting border communities and the committee moved the bill to Appropriations.
Assemblymember Alvarez told the committee AB 27 51 would establish parity for travelers entering California by land by standardizing the personal importation limit at 6 liters per 31 days. Alvarez said the existing law allows people arriving by air or seaport to bring larger amounts home but limits land-border crossers to one liter per 31 days, which the bill would correct to ‘‘reflect what thousands of border community residents’’ experience. "This change reflects what thousands of border community residents... do every single day," Alvarez said, framing the measure as relieving an inconsistency affecting daily cross-border travel.
No witnesses for or against were recorded in the transcript. The committee moved AB 27 51 to the Appropriations Committee by roll call; later tallies recorded unanimous support where noted.
