Victory for Commercial Real Estate: Key Elements of Janitorial Bills Defeated
Our coalition secured a significant victory against two costly janitorial bills, AB 2364 and AB 2374, that would have raised operational expenses and hurt commercial real estate recovery.
From the start, BOMA/GLA and our partners stood firm against these bills, which imposed heavy regulations and burdened property owners.
While AB 2364 passed in a much-amended form, AB 2374 was stopped in Senate Appropriations, halting its progress.
Here’s how both bills evolved and what it means for our industry.
Janitorial Bills Pass California Assembly
Two high-cost janitorial bills continue to advance through the legislative process, with both now in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
Assembly Bill 2374 expands requirements for displaced janitors, and Assembly Bill 2364 imposes production rate limits.
Both bills represent new costs for an industry still reeling from market uncertainty.
The impact of the tentative labor agreement on the bills remains to be seen.
