Senate Bill 1103 (SB 1103) - SIGNED INTO LAW: Extends residential tenant protections to commercial leases, which may increase financial risks for property owners.
Assembly Bill 2364 (AB 2364) - SIGNED INTO LAW: Sets stringent quotas and training requirements for janitorial workers, raising operational costs with limited benefits.

These bills could impose additional costs and regulatory burdens on our industry.
