The California State Senate Appropriations Committee passed Assembly Bill 183 (AB 183), which if passed by both houses of the state legislature and signed by Governor Jerry Brown will ban sales of alcoholic beverages at self-service checkout stands in retail stores in the Golden State, by a six-to-one majority last week.
Following passage by the Appropriations Committee, AB 183, which is nicknamed the "Son of Tesco Fresh & Easy Law," had its "second reading" on the floor of the California State Senate on Wednesday, August 17. When a bill passes out of committee to which it's been assigned in the California State Legislature, it is read on the floor for a second time.
The bill's passage in the Appropriations Committee is the legislation's last formal committee stop. The next step for AB 183 is for it to get what's called a "third reading."
In the "third reading," AB 183 will be read on the Senate floor, then debated by members. Following the debate, a roll call vote is set to be taken.
According to FreshandEasyBuzz, we will know soon because if AB 183 passes and is sent to Governor Brown he will have until the end of September to make the "Son of Tesco Fresh & Easy" law a reality or veto it. It's a 60% probability today the Governor will sign it if it passes in the senate. But Brown is known to go against type and odds. Therefore, our probability analysis that he will sign AB 183 could change between today and the end of September.
