More help is on the way for Californians struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed a $7.6 billion relief package into law on Tuesday, which will provide one-time stimulus checks to 5.7 million people and provide more grant funding for small businesses.
The package was first passed by the Legislature this week and builds on initiatives in the Governor’s January state budget proposal to provide cash relief to lower-income Californians, increase aid to small businesses and provide license renewal fee waivers to businesses impacted by the pandemic. In addition to these measures, Tuesday’s action will commit more resources for critical child care services and fund emergency financial aid for community college students.

Fight Brewing over Insurer-Backed California Bill That Includes Autobody Shops
An insurance industry-backed California bill to create a new regulatory board for towing and storage companies under the California Department of Consumer Affairs has drawn opposition from the auto body industry.
Assembly Bill 294 was introduced by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, D-Los Angeles, in January, and is sponsored by insurance companies.
The bill, also known as the Vehicle Tow and Storage Act, would establish the Vehicle Towing and Storage Board in the Department of Consumer Affairs and would empower the board to regulate and resolve disputes involving vehicle towing businesses.
The bill would also require a business to obtain a vehicle tow and storage permit and pay an annual fee before operating a tow truck or tow vehicle in California. It would establish various penalties for violations of these provisions.
