A new law in California went into effect on Monday, July 1st, requiring bars and nightclubs to provide drug testing kits. Known as Assembly Bill 1013, the legislation aims to protect consumers from drinks that have been spiked with controlled substances, often used in the infamous ‘date rape’ drug scenario.
This new law aims to combat the threat of individuals unknowingly consuming drinks laced with drugs like Rohypnol or GHB, commonly known as ‘date rape’ drugs. By making drug testing kits readily available, the law empowers patrons to ensure the safety of their drinks and take precautions against potential harm.
The implementation of this legislation signifies a crucial step towards protecting individuals from these dangerous substances and fostering a safer environment within the state’s nightlife establishments.
