Quick answers

Did CA AB 1954 pass?

Not yet law. CA AB 1954 has passed both chambers and is enrolled, awaiting executive action (signature or veto) as of 2026-08-25. Latest recorded action (2026-08-25): Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 4 p.m.

What is CA AB 1954 about?

Existing law authorizes a city to purchase, lease, receive, hold, and enjoy real and personal property, and control and dispose of that property for the common benefit. Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city to acquire property needed for specified purposes, including golf courses. This bill would prohibit an operator of a third-party golf reservation service platform from listing, advertising, promoting, selling, or transferring reservations for a golf course owned by a local public agency without a written authorization from the golf course operator, as specified. The bill would exempt from this prohibition the sale or transfer of a reservation, for no more than the amount paid, by an individual who purchased the reservation, if the golf course operator does not clearly post their cancellation policy on the internet website where the reservation is secured. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.

Who sponsors CA AB 1954?

Ward is the primary sponsor of CA AB 1954.
