Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order on Wednesday once again extending prohibitions on price gouging in areas impacted by the devastating 2020 wildfires. California's price gouging law prohibits raising prices by more than 10% on housing, gas, food and other essential supplies. The Governor's recently-signed order extends those protections through May 22, 2021, specifically citing the fact the many homes are yet to be rebuilt and so protections are still needed. The full text of the Governor’s Executive Order can be read here.
