California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Certification Practice Exam

If an administrative violation occurs on the licensed premises, the license for that premises is ____.

1. At risk for administrative penalties

2. Automatically renewed

3. Not affected

4. Transferred to another premises

The correct answer is: At risk for administrative penalties

An administrative violation refers to a breach of rules or regulations within the authorized premises. In such cases, the license for that premises is at risk for administrative penalties, meaning that it may face sanctions or fines from the relevant authorities. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the consequences of an administrative violation on the license. The license is not automatically renewed, the current status of the license is definitely affected, and it cannot be transferred to another premises without addressing the violations and potential penalties first. Therefore, the best answer is A.
