We, the undersigned, support California Assembly bill AB 1060 that would close a loophole and prevent minors and intoxicated persons from purchasing alcohol at stores that use self-service checkout system.

Self-service checkouts create opportunities for underage drinkers or intoxicated persons to make unlawful alcohol purchases. Underage drinking remains a major problem in California and we need to prevent these sorts of alcohol purchases by requiring a live cashier present to check and verify the age of the purchaser.

We respectfully request that the California State Senate Governmental Organization Committee support this legislation and move it to the floor for a full vote.
