AB 1679: Local pop-up small business program.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified September 6, 2026

What AB 1679 does, verified September 6, 2026

<p>The bill introduces a local pop-up small business program in California, allowing cities, counties, or city and county jurisdictions to grant temporary commercial activation authorization for up to 120 days. This enables pop-up businesses to operate without full compliance with permanent occupancy standards but requires adherence to health and safety regulations. Local authorities must provide accessibility guidance materials and can set fees covering administrative costs. The bill also permits the suspension, deferral, or modification of certain standards and requirements for temporary use. Enforcement mechanisms and penalties are established for noncompliance.</p>
