What AB 592 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill makes several changes to existing laws related to business and retail food. It would extend the temporary relief measures for licensees to sell alcoholic beverages to-go and delivery privileges until January 1, 2029. The bill would also make provisions related to outdoor dining areas, such as reduced parking requirements, operative indefinitely. Additionally, it would allow restaurants to operate with open windows and flexible store fronts, as long as they submit an integrated pest management and food safety risk mitigation plan for approval. The bill also prohibits local enforcement agencies from unreasonably withholding approval of such plans.
