Chair Stein, Vice Chair Johnson, Ranking Member Lepore-Hagan, and members of
the House Commerce and Labor Committee, thank you for the opportunity to
provide sponsor testimony on House Bill 218.

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen countless businesses
struggle financially. As a result of curfews, many bars have been forced to close
their doors.

When a bar shuts down, its employees, which are disproportionately low-income
and minorities, all lose their jobs. The related economic losses felt by our
communities can be devastating.

This legislation will help provide some much needed relief for our bars by providing
them with the opportunity to stay open for an extra hour without the worry of
curfews.

I would like to thank you again for the opportunity to testify and welcome any
questions that you may have.
