California Bill Proposes Extended Alcohol Hours for Intuit Dome VIPs

Legislation would allow alcohol sales until 4 a.m. for select guests at the Los Angeles Clippers' new arena, raising concerns about fairness and public safety.

• The bill, AB 3206, was quietly passed by the California Senate and now awaits Assembly approval.
• Only VIP suite holders at the Intuit Dome, owned by Steve Ballmer, would benefit from the extended hours.
• Critics argue the bill exemplifies the undue influence of wealthy individuals on legislation.
• Supporters claim the measure is necessary for Inglewood's economic competitiveness.
• The bill would apply exclusively to the Intuit Dome and is set to expire in 2030.
