New California laws in effect for 2025
Briefly

California is set to implement a wide range of new laws in 2025, including those promoting cannabis cafes and expanding outdoor drinking areas to support local economies.
Among the significant changes, Senate Bill 969 allows the creation of 'entertainment zones' where patrons can consume alcohol outdoors, aimed at revitalizing the central city post-pandemic.
AB 1775 brings cannabis cafes to California, permitting the sale of food and beverages in lounges, while also improving worker protections amid previous opposition.
Despite the numerous bills introduced, only around 1,200 were passed as the legislative process eliminated many proposals, showcasing the complexities of lawmaking.
