ASSEMBLY BILL 98 (Carrillo and Reyes) Severe Limitations on Warehouse Development and Local Control |
SUMMARY: Assembly Bill 98 (Carrillo; D-Palmdale and Reyes; D-San Bernardino) imposes statewide mandates on warehouse locations and operations, overriding local control. It requires buffer zones, truck route restrictions, and zero-emission vehicle standards, severely limiting land for logistics use and potentially driving businesses out of California. This could lead to significant job losses, hinder economic growth, and worsen environmental outcomes due to increased transportation needs. The bill's rigid requirements and lack of flexibility, such as no sunset clause and burdensome affordable housing provisions, could stifle industrial development and harm local economies.

AB 98 was introduced as a last-minute gut and amend just days prior to the end of the legislative session. The bill passed the Legislature – it now heads to the Governor’s desk for signature or veto. |
