Bill overview
This bill expands California’s price gouging laws to cover a wider range of goods and services during declared states of emergency, including housing, commercial real property, and certain essential items like gasoline and building materials. It increases penalties for violations, particularly for businesses, and clarifies the definition of ‘housing’ to encompass all rental properties. The bill also aims to prevent landlords from significantly increasing rents or evicting tenants during emergencies.
