Today the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a motion authored by Supervisor Sheila Kuehl that extends price gouging protections for those impacted by the Woolsey Fire. The protection will continue for as long as the Board of Supervisors’ disaster declaration remains in effect.

The Board’s action today means that L.A.
