Ensuring consumer rights and economic justice are fully recognized and firmly established by the CA Legislature.

2. CA law #SB766 makes car buying fairer & safer:
a) Transparent pricing so buyers can comparison shop
b) Bans junk add-ons that don’t benefit consumers (like “lifetime oil changes” for EVs)
c) 3-day cooling-off period for used cars under $48K to avoid scams & return if needed

1. Buying a Car in California Just Got Safer
Governor Newsom @CAGovernor has signed #SB766 (Allen) — the Combating Auto Retail Scams Act — into law! The new law makes car buying more transparent, affordable, and fair for millions of Californians. #CALeg #ConsumerProtection

3. With SB 825, California continues to lead the nation in ensuring fairness and transparency in the financial marketplace.

1. Big win for CA consumers! Gov. Newsom signed #SB825 (Senator @MoniqueLimonCA) into law — empowering @CaliforniaDFPI to hold financial institutions accountable and protect Californians from deceptive and predatory practices. #ConsumerProtection

2. This new law authorizes the DFPI and Innovation to enforce state consumer financial protection laws over entities they currently regulate, including state banks, state credit unions, independent mortgage companies, nonbank lenders, and payment service providers.

3. Led by @CeciliaAD4  with support from @TechEquityCollab,@EconomicSecProj, and @econliberties — this new law keeps markets fair and protects Californians from digital price gouging.

1. CA draws the line: algorithmic price fixing is illegal. This week @CAGovernor signed #AB325 by Majority Leader @CeciliaAD4 into law — making CA the first state to ban algorithmic price fixing that inflates the cost of essentials like housing and groceries.

2. AB 325 modernizes CA’s antitrust laws to confront the growing use of AI and digital tools that secretly coordinate prices — whether in rent, food, or other everyday goods.

Thank you @CAgovernor for signing #AB2837. And thank you @BauerKahan for authoring legislation that significantly clarifies and strengthens the post-judgment process. Our state is fortunate to have your support as a champion for consumers who are struggling financially.

[Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan @BauerKahan]

It’s essential that we protect low-income consumers who are subject to a debt collection judgment with clear timelines and processes for appeal. AB 2837 establishes these guardrails and ensures due process. Thank you @CAgovernor for signing this important bill!

[Rob Bonta @AGRobBonta]

When someone is scared and in pain, the last thing they should think about is whether seeking care will take away their ability to buy a house or land a job.

[Senator Monique Limón @MoniqueLimonCA]

No Californian should be unable to secure housing, a loan, or even a job because they accessed necessary medical care. California is stepping up to protect consumers impacted by the effects of medical debt. Thank you, @CAgovernor

We are very grateful to you, Senator, for leading this landmark effort.

[Senator Monique Limón @MoniqueLimonCA]

I was proud to stand in front of the Capitol today with @CalNurses, @CALPIRG, @AGRobBonta, @healthaccess, @NationalNurses, @_CLICC_, @ConsumerFed to rally support for SB 1061. It is time California joins 7 other states and protects consumers from medical debt!

[California Low-Income Consumer Coalition @_CLICC_]

We’re grateful to the Senator for all of her hard work and for giving voice to Californians who struggle with medical debt.

[Senator Monique Limón @MoniqueLimonCA]

Grateful to have Sonia’s testimony today in favor of our legislation. After being involved in a major accident her credit was unfairly penalized due to a medical billing error. This is all too common for so many people and must be addressed to protect CA consumers.

[Senator Monique Limón @MoniqueLimonCA]

SB 1061 has passed out of its first committee hearing! This bill prevents medical debt from being included on your credit report, preventing an unforeseen emergency from becoming a financial nightmare.

Grateful to our sponsors for their support.

Thank you @Ash_Kalra for authoring this very important and common sense legislation!

[Ash Kalra 🌱 @Ash_Kalra]

Common counts are a holdover from a bygone era and I'm grateful we are closer to ending this exploitative loophole.

Room rate was $249, but didn’t mention $90 in fees. #SB478 by @BillDoddCA and @NancySkinnerCA aims to stop that. https://t.co/gYfoC5LRKH

[NCLC @NCLC4consumers]

“California’s monetary relief is disappointing," said @lsaundersnclc. "@solofunds should have been required to refund all ‘tips’ as well as ‘donations," and pay a higher penalty.

But bottom line: SoLo is no longer lending in #California. https://t.co/xDPT4rdOSp

[Rob Bonta @AGRobBonta]

Across the nation, consumers are being fleeced by greedy corporations.

With #SB478, we’re taking a stand against hidden fees that raise prices without benefitting consumers.

If you’ve been hit by a hidden fee, we want to hear from you! Share your story with #HiddenFeesUncovered
