Attorney General Rob Bonta said the Department of Justice has received hundreds of reports of price gouging.

California law does not permit price-gouging increases of more than 10% from before the state of emergency declaration.

A disaster relief task force has also been created to uncover, investigate and prosecute such crimes.
