The "gut & amend" bill is Senator Scott Wiener's 4th attempt to disrupt the protections of uniform 2 a.m. last call in California by launching a 7-city pilot program to generate nightlife alcohol sales profits at the expense of public health and safety. All of his previous attempts have failed.

Key Points:

  • Last call timeswhat the scientific literature calls "trading hours"are a backbone of maintaining alcohol as a safe and legal product.
