CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 284

---

Introduced by Senator Wiener

February 01, 2023

---

An act to amend Section 17570 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to vending machines.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 284, as introduced, Wiener. Vending machines.

Existing law requires a person who owns a vending machine to affix to the machine their name and address, as specified. If the person owns more than one vending machine located at the same place, existing law instead authorizes the person to post a clearly readable sign containing their name and address in a conspicuous location near the machines. Existing law makes a violation of those provisions a crime.

This bill would require a person to post their telephone number, email address, or both, on the machine or in a conspicuous location, as may be appropriate. The bill would provide that a violation of these provisions is not a crime.
