SACRAMENTO— Assembly Bill 2085 (AB 2085) has successfully cleared the California Legislature and is now headed to the Governor’s Desk. The measure marks a significant step forward for consumer protection, transparency, and fairness in everyday transactions across the state.
“Californians deserve confidence that the systems they rely on every day operate fairly and transparently,” said Assemblymember Juan Alanis. “When the public has access to clear information, they are better protected and better equipped to make informed decisions.”
AB 2085 requires that commercial weighing and measuring devices be positioned so both parties in a transaction can clearly see the results. The bill also strengthens transparency requirements for point-of-sale pricing systems.
Current law leaves gaps in certain transaction types — particularly in industries like recycling, where consumers are often the sellers rather than the buyers. AB 2085 closes that gap by ensuring visibility of measurements regardless of who is buying or selling.
The bill passed with unanimous support through the legislative process and now awaits the Governor’s signature.
This is Assemblymember Alanis’s first bill sent to the Governor this year. He currently has eleven additional bills advancing through the legislative process.
Assemblymember Juan Alanis represents the 22nd Assembly District, which includes the communities of Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, Denair, Patterson, Gustine, Newman, Hilmar, Ballico, Snelling, Keyes, Grayson, Crows Landing, Diablo Grande, Stevinson, & Empire.
