(The Center Square) - Assemblymember Brian Maienschein (D-San Diego) has authored a bill that would require companies that have violated the law to give up the profits that they made through their illegal conduct. Money collected would be held in a newly created Restitution Fund in the state Treasury. Proceeds from this fund would be used to provide restitution for any victim who cannot otherwise be compensated. Assemblymember Maienschein has the support of Attorney General Rob Bonta who is sponsoring AB 1366. The new legislation was announced today in a release by the attorney general’s office. “Under AB 1366, the restitution would be funded from the ill-gotten gains of businesses that violate California’s consumer protection laws, rather than through taxes or fees charged to law-abiding businesses. Specifically, AB 1366 would allow the Attorney General to seek the remedy of disgorgement in actions brought under the Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law,” the release
Newsom requests Federal Fishery Disaster Declaration for California By RIA ROEBUCK JOSEPH THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR
(The Center Square) - The projected amounts of key salmon stocks off California and parts of Southern Oregon has led the Pacific Fishery Management Council to recommend a full closure of the 2023 ocean salmon season, leading California’s governor to request a Federal Fishery Disaster declaration. The declaration is requested specifically for the State of California 2023 Sacramento River Fall Chinook (SRFC) and Klamath River Fall Chinook (KRFC) ocean and inland salmon which are at historic lows. The projected loss from closures of commercial and recreational fisheries is expected to exceed $45 million. This estimate does not account for the full impact to California’s communities as it does not include economic impacts to inland salmon fisheries. A letter by California Lt. Gov. Eleni
Kounalakis to the US Department of Commerce revealed the reason for the low count of salmon stocks, “A host of factors have pushed these iconic and important fisheries to the point of collapse, including prolonged and historic drought, severe wildfires, impacts to spawning and rearing habitat, harmful algal blooms, and ocean forage shifts and associated thiamine deficiency.” Salmon are born in freshwater but spend most of their lives in the ocean, then return to freshwater to spawn. This life cycle makes them particularly susceptible to factors both on land and at sea. The low count has been attributed in part to the low return of salmon entering California’s waters, which were affected by drought three years ago and are now subject to climate disruption putting further stress on fish stocks. Assistance to the communities impacted by the closures which are expected to be implemented next month, hinges around the approval of the request.

very traditional and authentic Mexican street food, like you find on the streets of Mexico,” Mr. Luna said. “At any given time, you can choose from 10 or more varieties and preparations of meats — from the more familiar Al Pastor (pork), Sirloin and Pollo Adobo (chicken) to styles you really don’t see very often in town, like Cabeza (beef’s head) Tripa (tripe), Labio (lips), Lengua (tongue) and more. So whether you want to try something new, or stick with the classics, there’s something for everyone here. “Tacos are the star of the show here, and we encourage guests to be adventurous and try something new. In addition to the tacos, people are really loving our Volcanes, Costras and Alambres. And I highly recommend the house-made Horchatas and Agua Frescas,” said Mr. Luna. The restaurant has received praise online. “... some of the most savory tacos I have tasted in town. Great variety of meats for these street-style tacos, fresh ingredients, and amazing salsas to pair. Taqueria La Única is part of the Los Agaves family. The menu includes some other dishes as well. I will definitely be back to try more,” said Yelp reviewer, Eusebio C. Mr. Luna noted, “Every Monday we are offering our Lunes del Rey special featuring $2 Al Pastor tacos all day, as well as Taco Tuesday specials, in addition to various menu specials that will change weekly. We also have a great outdoor patio that’s perfect for gathering with friends and family as the days are getting longer and warmer. We are excited to welcome everyone.” Hours of operation are Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Taqueria La Unica is currently hiring and is holding open interviews on Tuesday from noon to 3 p.m. Applicants are asked to bring their resume.

said. Victims of fraud are entitled to restitution after a judgment has been reached but in many cases the business becomes insolvent and files for bankruptcy, leaving the victim without recourse. In one such case pointed out by Mr. Bonta, the AG obtained a $20 million judgment against Paul Blanco’s Good Car Company in November 2022. Ultimately, Paul Blanco became insolvent, went out of business and left its victims with little to no compensation. “When a predatory business takes advantage of a consumer, it’s only right that the proceeds gained from illegal conduct should go towards compensating victims rather than remaining in the bank accounts of bad actors,” Assemblymember Maienschein stated. Current California consumer protection laws do not include a disgorgement clause like those already enacted in states like Arizona and New York. The bill proposes to implement another safeguard for California consumers alongside the Civil Penalty Fund that allows the federal government through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to make victims financially whole.
