"October typically marks the end of California's legislative session, where bills passed by lawmakers head to Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk to be vetoed or signed into law (if the governor takes no action in the required time frame, the bill becomes a statute). Flanked by Los Angeles restaurateurs, Newsom signed two bills on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Downtown Los Angeles's Joyce Soul & Sea."
"Newsom's deadline to complete the year's final signing session is October 12. In previous years, Newsom approved legislation that increased the rights and wages of fast-food workers, offered protections to street food vendors, and bolstered home-operated cooking businesses. In 2025, the new slate of restaurant-related laws was written to minimize the state's extensive red tape and permitting process, along with aid for struggling small businesses. Below is a rundown of four laws either passed or awaiting Newsom's approval."
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills on October 9, 2025, aimed at easing operational challenges for restaurants across California. AB 592 removes parking requirements for outdoor dining and preserves the temporary allowances created during the COVID-19 pandemic under the ABC's Temporary Catering Authorization. The 2025 legislative package seeks to reduce extensive red tape and streamline permitting processes to aid struggling small businesses. Newsom's final deadline for the year's signing session is October 12, 2025. Two additional restaurant-related bills remain pending consideration before the governor's deadline.
