Special Public Policy Forum Happy Hour: LOCAL Act with Senator Scott Wiener

Special Public Policy Forum Happy Hour:  
LOCAL Act with Senator Scott Wiener

Join us Thursday, June 29 for a special 4:00 pm Public Policy Forum happy hour as Senator Scott Wiener updates us on his legislation, the LOCAL Act, which would allow localities to extend alcohol service to as late as 4:00 am. This bill would allow San Francisco to thoughtfully grow our nighttime economy, which is $6 billion in size, employs over 60,000 people and generates over $80 million in annual tax revenue.

The LOCAL Act will establish a process where local government, law enforcement, neighborhood residents, and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control can create an agreed-upon plan to extend the hours of alcohol sales for bars and restaurants to between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m in specific areas of a city.

Senator Wiener was elected to represent California's 11th Senate District in November 2016. He currently serves on the Human Services Committee (Chair), Transportation and Housing Committee, Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee, Appropriations Committee, and Public Safety Committee. Prior to being elected to the State Senate, he served as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing District 8. 

The Forum happy hour begins at 4:00 pm on June 29 in the Chamber boardroom. Beer and wine will be provided. Snacks will also be provided thanks to our generous sponsors at Safeway.
