California proposes bill to let cities extend weekend alcohol sales to 4 a.m. to boost tourism.

California lawmakers have introduced AB 342, a bill proposing to extend alcohol sales hours to 4 a.m. on weekends and holidays in designated "Hospitality Zones." Local governments would decide on creating these zones, considering factors like public safety and transportation. Supporters include business chambers, aiming to boost tourism and nightlife. The bill faces review on April 23 and follows a previous unsuccessful attempt.
