INVITED:

WHAT: Town Hall Meeting & Panel Discussion on SB 905 (Wiener) ? the 4 a.m. Bar Bill
WHEN: Thursday, March 8, 2018 from 6:30 p.m. (Check-in & Snacks) to 8:30 p.m.
On the heels of failing to pass his 4 a.m. bar bill (SB 384) last year, State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) has introduced SB 905, a dangerous six-city, five-year experiment to extend last call hours until 4 a.m.
This bill, like three others that have stalled out in previous sessions, will spread alcohol overconsumption, loss of life, injury, and nuisance across the state.
Fatal DUI is a chronic, worsening problem for California.
The U.S. Community Preventive Services Task Force found that every 2-hour increase in last-call times results in greater vehicle crash injuries and E.R. admissions. (Hahn et al., 2010)
There is no such thing as "local control" in alcohol policy. The harm from one city's decision to change last-call times splashes over every surrounding community.
California already suffers over 10,500 alcohol-related deaths and $34 billion in costs annually.
