Saturday, June 4, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcohol Justice is condemning State Senator Scott Wiener's 4th attempt since 2017 to extend alcohol hours of service in California. Wiener "gutted and amended" SB 930, a bill originally relating to housing which passed the Senate in May. Now it's a bill in the Assembly that would allow 7 cities in California to extend alcohol sales in bars and restaurants to 4 a.m. All of Wiener's previous attempts to extend alcohol sales have failed.

Key Points: 
  • Wiener "gutted and amended" SB 930 , a bill originally relating to housing which passed the Senate in May.
  • "This is his fourth attempt to disrupt the protections of a uniform closing time in California.
  • If passed it will allow a poorly conceived "pilot project" to turn much of the state's population into "Splash Zone" lab animals."
  • "The San Francisco State Senator continues to turn his back on common sense by authoring another dangerous 4 a.m. bill," said Michael Scippa, Public Affairs Director at Alcohol Justice.

Key Points: 
  • The study, published in The Knee1, found that knee shape occurs independently from characteristics typically used to identify patients.
  • This recent clinical study further underscores the value of precisely matching a replacement joint with the specific anatomy of each patient.
