In a move to boost jobs, tourism and tax revenue as well as keep up with California’s nightclub and bar hopping residents, lawmakers  propose to keep the party going by extending alcohol service to 4a.m.  

A state lawmaker's proposal would allow restaurants and bars in California the option of expanding alcohol service hours to 4 a.m. -- two hours later than allowed under current law. Senate Bill 635 was authored by Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco). The bill gives local communities the option of expanding alcohol service hours, and establishments would go through an approval process that would allow for late-night service.

"This legislation would allow destination cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego to start local conversations about the possibility of expanding nightlife and the benefits it could provide the community by boosting jobs, tourism and local tax revenue," Leno said in a statement.

Current state law allows for alcohol service between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. for on- and off-sale establishments. Leno's proposal only applies to on-sale businesses, such as nightclubs, bars and restaurant.
