Overview
This bill establishes a formal definition of ‘industrial city’ within California law. It identifies cities that primarily utilize land for industrial and commercial activities, have a smaller resident population than 25,000, and support a significant daytime workforce. The definition is intended to be used for state programs, policies, and funding formulas that specifically reference it.

- Specifies that the city’s daytime workforce must exceed its resident population.
- Establishes that cities meeting the criteria will be considered ‘industrial cities’ for relevant state programs.
- Excludes the impact on Chapter 2.8 of Division 1 of Title 7.
