California Assembly Approves Cannabis Cafe Bill

Legislation now moves to the state Senate with amendments to address smoke-free workplace concerns.

Assemblymember Matt Haney's bill allows cannabis cafes to serve food and beverages.
The bill passed the Assembly overwhelmingly and now heads to the Senate.
New amendments aim to prevent smoking in food preparation areas to protect non-smoking employees.
Opposition from health organizations remains due to concerns over secondhand smoke.
Local jurisdictions would decide on permitting and regulations if the bill becomes law.
