Senator Donald Grunsky argued against expanding alcohol access while proponents warned of highway deaths.

Backers vow to try again on no fault auto bill in California
In Sacramento the last major no fault auto insurance bill died in the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 6 to 5 vote, leaving supporters ready to seek reconsideration when committee member Nicholas Petris is present. The measure would let insurers pay only their own customers for damages, with a $1,000 court threshold and protections for certain losses while excluding motorcycles. Opponents warned of higher premiums and loss of the right to sue for design defects.

Bill to restore vetoed UC pay hike introduced
Republican Assemblyman E Richard Barnes of San Diego filed to restore a 1242 percent pay boost for University of California and state college faculty, vetoed by Gov Reagan. He amended a bill to give the full 1245 percent to teachers, who were granted only a 742 percent increase by Reagan. Barnes argued the last raise was three years ago and the Reagan amount fails to match inflation.
