A new law mandating many California bars and nightclubs to provide common date-rape drug test kits will take effect on Tuesday, as announced by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The law, Assembly Bill 1013, necessitates approximately 2,400 establishments with a Type 48 license to display signage informing patrons that drug testing kits are available.
Type 48 licenses are issued to bars and nightclubs, authorizing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits, according to the department.
The signage reads, βDonβt get roofied! Drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details.β
The drug testing devices will either be offered for sale at a reasonable price or given to customers for free, according to the department.
Devices could include test strips, stickers, or straws that detect the presence of controlled substances in drinks.
