What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Gavin Newsom signed new safety laws for industrial companies in response to a fire at a cold storage facility in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. The incident occurred in June at the Lineage facility, which was described as a 500,000-square-foot food warehouse. The new laws, which originated from bills introduced by Mark González and María Elena Durazo, allow local agencies to fine companies up to $50,000 per violation if they threaten public health and safety. These rules are scheduled to take effect statewide in 2028.
