What SB 395 does, verified December 13, 2025

This bill aims to allow the city and county of San Francisco to designate a "hospitality zone" and issue up to 20 additional on-sale general licenses for bona fide public eating places within that zone. The local governing body must adopt an ordinance designating or modifying the zone, which must include specified information and findings. The bill requires the department to follow specific procedures for issuing these licenses and prohibits them from being transferred to another county. If a license is canceled or revoked, the department can issue an additional one. The bill prohibits the department from issuing new licenses after July 1, 2033.
