What AB 380 does, verified December 7, 2025
This bill aims to amend existing laws related to price gouging during emergencies. It would make the misdemeanor of selling or offering to sell certain goods or services for a price greater than 10% more than the previous price before an emergency, punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of $10,000, applicable for 60 days after the emergency declaration. The bill would also expand the definition of "housing" to include all rental properties, regardless of lease term, and prohibit increasing rental prices by more than 10% and evictions during emergencies. Additionally, the bill does not require reimbursement for costs mandated by the state for certain reasons.
