What AB 1954 does, verified August 26, 2026

This bill would prohibit a third-party golf reservation service platform from listing, advertising, promoting, or selling reservations for a golf course owned by a local public agency without written authorization from the golf course operator. The operator would be required to obtain authorization before the golf course is listed on the platform. A violation of this provision would be considered an unlawful business act under the state's unfair competition law, resulting in a civil penalty not exceeding $2,500 per violation. The bill aims to address a statewide concern and applies to all cities, including charter cities.
