Calif. may extend last call by 2 hours
By Associated Press
Closing times at bars in California could go later if proposed legislation gets passed.
The bill proposed Tuesday by state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat who represents San Francisco, would let municipalities set their own last call times. The Los Angeles Times reports communities could decide to go as late as 4am.
Currently, the last call time across the state is 2am.
Wiener’s predecessor in the Legislature, former Sen. Mark Leno, tried in 2013 to give cities more flexibility in setting last call times. But his bill didn’t get enough votes to move out of committee.
