Los Angeles lawmakers have wrestled for years with how to legalize and regulate the vendors who sell food and goods on the city's sidewalks.
Now a state legislator is championing a bill that could take some of those decisions out of the city's hands. Under a proposal from Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), California cities would not be able to regulate or ban vendors unless they have a licensing system that meets several requirements.
Cities could not bar vending in parks. They could not limit where vendors can do business or cap their numbers unless the rules were tied to "objective health, safety or welfare concerns."
And they could not require vendors to get permission from the brick-and-mortar shops next door an idea that L.A. lawmakers have been weighing as they try to hammer out city regulations.

Welcome to Tijuana Del Norte
It is OK for illegal Mexicans to sell tamales out of an ice chest on the sidewalk, but if I did that I would be arrested. If anybody go sick from a bad tamal I would be sued to kingdom come.
The California State Legislature is actually doing something constructive and pro-free market?
Making California a $h!thole one Marxist law at a time.
A roach coach on every corner. What could go wrong?
Mexican illegals have all the rights in California.
Californians have the obligation to pay for everything that the illegals want, courtesy of the communists who have captured the Cal Democrat Party.
And very soon one of them, Kamala Harris, will be VP on the Democratic ticket
Most influential liberals don’t live anywhere near to the problems which their bone-headed policies create.
I got tired of these salmonella peddlers coming into my neighborhood with their half ass filthy pushcarts, wringing bells or honking horns and calling out their crap in Spanish.
I called the police and got the "their just trying to make an honest living" crap. I asked the officer how operating an unlicensed and unregulated business was honest or legal, but it was just to much work for them to roust a poor little amigo. Then I called the health department and got the same crap from them. So I asked if I should advise my previous employer that the county health department has ruled the he no longer need so be licensed or submit to health department inspections at his eight county locations, the Health inspector said "Oh no, he can't do that. I asked why, because he's an Anglo and legal?
The authorities let the illegals get away with things that citizens would be heavily fined or jailed for, especially here in CaliAztlan!
The article reads opposite of the title.
You complained to California law enforcement about the health and other hazards caused by illegals?! Your name is probably on a list now. I complained to my city councilwoman about illegals camped near the Home Depot. I complained about the camp fires and the fact that they are crapping into the San Diego River. The councilwoman gave my complaint to the police department. The police department sent a sergeant to my front door and told me that they don’t have the manpower to clear out the “day laborers.” I got the message and stopped complaining. That was about 4 or 5 years ago. Guess what? Problem got worse. There was a vicious homicide at that vert same campsite a couple of months ago. The victim was beaten and set on fire. But what the hell, the “day laborers” have to commit their crimes somewhere.

Rodeo Drive will never be the same.
Actually, Mexico has some laws in various cities to license vendors—or at least they used to have police come around the beaches and beat the crap out of unlicensed vendors who tried to sell stuff to tourists. Maybe there wasn’t any law on the books, just police making a little mordida on the side.
Anyway, The vendors licenses were only good for a few hours per day so the rest of the poor vendors had to try to sneak onto the beaches between patrols. I hope the new laws won’t lead to police bribery and violence.
One more step on the way to Mexifornia. Maybe it will be a colorful asset to the State and its resident citizens. Or a step on the way to a culture like an emerging nation like Mexico, with essentially a class system of the very poor on the streets with the very rich looking down from fortified compounds on the hills.
Sacramento is to California cities as Washington D.C. is to the states - a busy body that has so little work of its own that it must to so it intrudes in jurisdictions below it just because it wants to intrude in jurisdictions below it. That constant intrusion, the act of it, is the big “accomplishment”.
LOL! I thought the same thing before I read your comment.
Alas, they were banned :(
While driving through a diverse neighborhood in Atlanta, I was surprised to see a vendor with a bicycle ice cream cart. He was pushing it through an area of broken sidewalk and rubble. It felt like I was in Tijuana.
You shouldn’t be surprised since Georgia is 10% hispanic now. This country is being hispanized from sea to shining sea. We may win a few battles with POTUS but this war has been lost.
I realize there are lots of “immigrants” in GA. I was just surprised to see a ‘vendador’ operating like he was still in the third world.
In my little slice of America, there are enough Mexicans to staff a dozen Mexican restaurants, but lawn work, construction, fast food jobs are still being done by young Americans.
Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), is an effin’ Communist.
