LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice, the California Alcohol Policy Alliance, and the Los Angeles Drug and Alcohol Policy Alliance are hosting a press event to dispel any doubt that SB 384 – Wiener’s 4 a.m. Bar Bill – is bad news for everyone except those selling booze.

When: 

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 9 a.m.

Where:

Los Angeles City Hall – Steps Facing 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Who:  

Invited Participants:

  • AADAP

  • American Indians in Film and Television
  • California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA)
  • California College and University Police Chiefs Association
  • Coalition to Prevent Alcohol-Related Harms in LA Metro (CoPALM)

  • Los Angeles Police Department
  • Los Angeles Department of Public Health
  • MADD
  • Poursafe
  • Santee Solutions
  • The Westside Coalition
  • Women Against Gun Violence

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
