|
|
Why:
|
|
|
- SB 384 can extend
bar hours to 4 a.m., causing neighborhood noise and violence
later into the night, filling emergency rooms and costing cities
more in police and ambulance services
|
|
- California already
suffers more annual alcohol-related harm than any other
state:
--10,572 deaths
--17,700 hospitalizations
--$34 billion cost to public
--$13.7 billion cost to government
|
|
- SB 384 provides no
extra funding to help local governments pay for increased costs of
police, fire, EMS, and emergency department staff to clean up the
extra harm that two more hours of alcohol consumption will
cause
|
|
- There is no ABC
capacity to regulate late night bars
|
|
- There is little or
no mass transportation available in most CA cities at 4
a.m.
|
|
- SB 384 advocates
misuse the term "Local Control" which is ineffectual in controlling
alcohol consumption
|
|
- Passing SB 384 will
lead to more vehicle crash injuries, emergency room admissions, and
alcohol-related assault and injury
|
|
- SB 384 is bad
public policy that will only benefit those who profit from the
manufacture and sale of alcohol while increasing the personal
tragedies and financial costs of alcohol-related harm
