The proposed warehouse ban Assembly Bill 1000 (Reyes; D-San Bernardino) was scheduled for hearing at yesterday's Assembly Local Government Committee, however the author pulled the bill from consideration at the last minute. While this puts a pause on the proposed warehouse ban, we anticipate new legislation to arise on this matter prior to the deadline to introduce new legislation next month. 

AB 1000 would ban new warehouse projects over 100,000 s.f. within 1,000 feet of a "sensitive" receptor. AB 1000 is a de facto ban on warehouses and will kill new housing and jobs reliant on these projects.

Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for the creation of new laws to crack down on professional thieves — expanding criminal penalties to hold criminals accountable and bolstering police and prosecutor tools to combat theft and take down suspects who profit from smash and grabs, retail theft, and car burglaries.

BOMA California looks forward to working with the Governor and lawmakers on behalf of the commercial real estate industry to support actions designed to curb property crime.

Yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom released his 2024-2025 budget plan, which includes a deficit of $37.9 billion. The total planned budget is $291 billion, down from the $311 billion budget signed into law last year. In order to balance the budget, the Governor has proposed spending cuts to various initiatives, including housing and climate programs.

The proposed budget will be negotiated with the Legislature with a June 15th deadline to pass it prior to the start of the fiscal year on July 1st.
