                                     Committee Report (Unamended)
BACKGROUND

Currently, aircraft bearing the name of an alcoholic beverage are
not permitted at any event in Texas.

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 479 redefines "outdoor advertising" to delete
provisions prohibiting the use of an aircraft to advertise
alcoholic beverages.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or
agency.

SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS

SECTION 1. Amends Section 108.51(l), Alcoholic Beverage Code, to
redefine "outdoor advertising" to provide that the definition does
not include using an aircraft in alcholic beverage advertising.

SECTION 2. Emergency clause.
           Effective date: upon passage.
