California AB1857 prohibits restrictive covenants that limit grocery store or supermarket use on properties.

California AB1857, known as the Grocery Store Access Act, aims to eliminate private land use restrictions that impede access to food. The bill voids restrictive covenants that prohibit or limit grocery and supermarket uses, addressing longstanding racial and economic inequities that contribute to food insecurity. It allows interested parties to modify or remove such covenants if a grocery store or supermarket has ceased operations or is no longer in operation within a commercial project or shopping center.
