A bill that would have extended bar closing times up to 4 a.m. in three California cities failed to pass the state Assembly Aug. 24. This was the fourth failed attempt to pass such a measure since 2017.
State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) authored SB 930 to allow places that serve alcohol an extra one to two hours in an attempt to draw tourism and help cities economically, he said. The legislation would’ve allowed San Francisco, Palm Springs, and West Hollywood to extend last call for alcohol at bars, nightclubs, and restaurants to as late as 4 a.m. on weekends and 3 a.m. during the week.
