Over the weekend, Governor Gavin Newsom finished acting on the more than 1,000 bills lawmakers sent to him during their 2023 legislative session. 

Have you ever found a good deal on a hotel or Airbnb, then watched those savings vanish when cleaning or resort fees are added? 

The governor signed a bill requiring  companies to include those fees in their up-front pricing, beginning next July. 

He also signed a bill allowing six cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco to install cameras that can automatically ticket drivers for speeding. 

Newsom previously approved a bill giving fast food workers a $20 minimum wage. He signed a similar bill on Friday guaranteeing all healthcare workers in the state a minimum wage of $25 dollars an hour. 

Both measures were the product of years of lobbying and negotiating between industry and labor groups.
