May 11, 2021 - SACRAMENTO – The California Senate on Monday unanimously approved legislation from Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, to assist restaurants struggling to recover from the pandemic by allowing them to sell to-go cocktails.
“If allowing restaurants to sell carry-out cocktails helps keep their doors open, we must do it,”
Sen. Dodd said. “This is about preserving jobs and getting our economy back on track. I appreciate my Senate colleagues for their support.”
The legislation comes as restaurants nationwide experience an estimated $165 billion in losses since March because of lockdowns and social distancing requirements to stop the spread of coronavirus. A survey by the National Restaurant Association found 78% of restaurant owners who began selling take-out alcohol rehired laid off employees compared to 62% overall. At least 33 states including California are temporarily allowing the sale of to-go cocktails during the pandemic

“I am excited for those that have joined the faculty senate, and to the returning senators I am glad you are coming back for another tour of duty,” said Faculty Regent and Journalism Professor Melony Shemberger. “I look forward to working with you. To the leaving senators, thank you for all the work you have done.”
