Bill > SB1365

This bill expands the authority of city attorneys in cities with over 750,000 residents to prosecute violations of antitrust laws, similar to the powers already held by the Attorney General and district attorneys, allowing them to initiate civil actions and criminal proceedings, retain a portion of recovered funds for expenses, and access investigative powers. It also modifies the definition of "housing" for price gouging laws during emergencies to include all rental housing regardless of lease term, and clarifies the calculation of rental prices for housing that was not rented daily in the year prior to an emergency. Additionally, the bill adjusts the conditions under which rent increases are permissible during a declared state of emergency, specifically regarding repairs and additions, and makes other related changes to existing business and professions codes and the penal code.
