The bill, presented by Sen. Durazo, aims to help cities and counties enforce local licensing rules and ensure the correct transient occupancy tax (TOT) is collected and remitted. Supporters told the committee that platforms currently withhold precise addresses, forcing local governments to rely on voluntary collection agreements or to spend limited legal and staff resources pursuing subpoenas and litigation.

Supporters said the lack of address-level data prevents audits and allows unlicensed, year‑round rentals to operate without local oversight. \"Short‑term rental platforms do not display the address of properties on their listing, so it's nearly impossible to tell if a unit listed for rent is licensed legally,\" said a League of California Cities witness. Patrick Sullivan, treasurer‑tax collector for Lake County, said his rural county lacks the staff and resources to trace unlicensed activity without platform cooperation and called voluntary collection agreements and ad‑hoc subpoenas ineffective.

Industry witnesses said they share the goal of ensuring TOT is collected but objected to parts of the bill that they said would bypass established legal safeguards. \"With this bill, the legislature is creating a big exception to a well established legal process that cities use on a regular basis,\" said Pat Joyce for Airbnb, arguing that local city attorneys already can and do compel information through administrative subpoenas and that the bill could shortcut that due‑process path.

Committee members pressed both sides on implementation details. Supporters said the bill includes limits on how often jurisdictions may request data — generally no more than once every three months unless the local ordinance requires more frequent TOT remittance — and that the audit provisions apply only when a platform actually collects and remits TOT. Opponents urged further work on due‑process protections and narrowing of any compelled data production. Several members urged additional technical fixes to balance enforcement with privacy and legal process.

The committee approved SB 346 as amended and forwarded it to the Judiciary Committee. The roll call on the motion was recorded as passed as amended (7–0). The author and opposition indicated they will continue negotiating technical amendments in subsequent committees.

Votes at the committee hearing were recorded on the motion to pass as amended to Judiciary; the committee chair announced the measure passed and the roll call reflected unanimous support of members voting.

SB 346 was discussed at length by local officials, trade groups and platform representatives; committee staff and members said further amendments could be considered in the next committee to address subpoena process, frequency of requests, and data fields required by jurisdictions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Local Government Committee (1)","oneSentenceSummary","Assembly Local Government Committee advanced SB 346 on July 2, 2025, proposing that short‑term rental platforms disclose the location of each listing to local governments that have adopted ordinances requiring that information.","taxTitle","California State Assembly, House, Legislative, California","taxId",17099,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6552225,"Committee advances bill to protect street vendors’ personal data and block federal use of local vendor registries",2930,3480000,6410000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5124796-0920acfbc8b766c9e6e36e5058dd60fc&start=3480&end=6410","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5124796-0920acfbc8b766c9e6e36e5058dd60fc/thumbnail_3480000.jpg","/articles/6552225/California/Committee-advances-bill-to-protect-street-vendors-personal-data-and-block-federal-use-of-local-vendor-registries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552225-6daf72d9ee9c68bdff2aa1033415002b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770885853&Signature=oluF75BqAuW3nQzNxQUepSnl6XEPrd5~2xEHJRPMCLhhtKzqg1skEmHs4m--C766khAQ-rEL-x1L-t3fLbhMopmvWGPHj3dRhRIWlI179jc7FNYV0qUd24w2-UYRZupjLULaAEBTGOUKFzi4t9JL2BGN8QNZ~ysu-uQzT8pqAf6BJ5rsvkeyMI3wSTLdldqArBQrX9onpjxxkKe4ToB52YcXQJxYBpvsZKVW7IgpIfet~~7xGqQ20Og0CCl9Mo4I9vRyH40yHU1D9FAZ2dSznJQMU-kC0xiGFEFP-xwaM0ghKdF5-snC2G7JH2Gx4HQQ4V5ncd~WvlE1WG5nB9~RTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Assembly Local Government Committee voted to pass SB 635, the Street Vendor Business Protection Act, to the Public Safety Committee on July 2, 2025. The bill, presented by Sen. Durazo, seeks to safeguard personal information collected by local street‑vendor registration programs and to limit use of that information by federal immigration authorities.

Sen. Durazo described the bill as a response to recent arrests and immigration enforcement activities that vendors and advocates said have terrorized vendor communities and interrupted livelihoods. \"This bill will safeguard micro business owners' personal information to ensure that they can continue their work in peace,\" she said, stressing the bill's intent to protect low‑income and immigrant workers who rely on street vending for income.

Supporters — including community groups, advocacy organizations and labor unions — said vendors face raids, arrests and family separations and that registration databases can be weaponized by federal actors. Representatives from Inclusive Action for the City, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), the California Federation of Labor and other groups described instances in which vendors declined to travel for committee testimony because they feared enforcement. One witness read a statement from a vendor who called the bill \"a game changing step\" toward safety and legal recognition.

Disability Rights California and other civil‑rights organizations testified in support and framed the bill as a humanitarian measure. \"Feeding the hungry and helping people survive is not a crime,\" said a disability‑rights witness, arguing that criminalizing Good Samaritans undermines public health and human rights. Several speakers highlighted that approximately half of people experiencing homelessness report a disability, and urged state focus on services and housing rather than criminalization.

Some local governments expressed concerns about the bill’s scope. Representatives from several cities and one county said they opposed the bill unless amended, arguing that it could limit local authorities' ability to maintain public health and safety and exercise established permitting and enforcement processes. The author’s office reported ongoing negotiations with the League of California Cities and that several jurisdictions had withdrawn opposition after technical changes; the league later registered neutral.

Committee discussion emphasized the need to balance humanitarian aid and public safety. Supporters and committee members agreed the bill should not override local rules that preserve clear sidewalks, public health standards and emergency access. The author included clarifying amendments and intent language limiting interference with existing local ordinances addressing sidewalk clearance and related safety concerns.

The committee voted to pass the bill to the Public Safety Committee. The chair recorded the motion as passed (6–1). Committee members said they expect continuing conversations with local government associations as the bill moves forward.

SB 635 was supported by multiple community‑based organizations and unions and opposed unless amended by some cities and counties. The author emphasized working with local governments to refine technical provisions.","SB 635 would restrict local governments from sharing street‑vendor registration and personal information with federal immigration enforcement and would strengthen privacy protections for micro‑businesses. The Local Government Committee passed the bill to Public Safety after extensive testimony from vendor advocates and public‑safety officials.","actionData","errors"]
