From the article:
Stambler helped Assemblyman Gatto draft the California Homemade Food Act (AB 1616) to legalize cottage food. AB 1616 was overwhelmingly popular with lawmakers,
passing the California State Assembly 60 to 16 and unanimously passing
the state Senate in August 2012. Upon signing the bill, Gov. Jerry
Brown praised AB 1616 as a way to “make it easier for people to do business in California.”
In January 2013, just a few days after the law went into effect,
Stambler became the first person in Los Angeles County to sell homemade
food legally. Since he’s re-started his business, he hasn’t received a
single complaint from consumers.
More home bakers have followed. In Los Angeles County, there are almost 270 cottage food businesses. Statewide, over 1,200 homemade food businesses have been approved.
