Bar creeps, beware — California isn’t stopping in its efforts to combat spiked drinks. A bill aimed at protecting people from being “roofied” in bars and nightclubs cleared the state Assembly floor with unanimous support Thursday, advancing a proposal that would make existing safety requirements permanent. AB 1982, introduced by Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal, now heads to the state Senate after lawmakers voted to extend rules requiring certain bars and nightclubs to provide drink lids and drug-testing devices to customers.
