Business News - new California Laws for 2025

 

 

There are a LOT of new laws on the books for California in 2025.  The most notable for our small businesses is:

 

Cracking Down on Retail Theft

 

Organized retail theft is permanently codified into California law through AB 1802 and SB 982.

It is now considered a felony to possess over $950 of items obtained through retail theft with the intention to resell (AB 2943). Similarly, breaking into vehicles to steal property valued at $950 or more with the intention to resell is now also considered a felony (SB 905).

 

You can find a full article explaining all of the new business legislation here
