Scammers are getting smarter and seniors are often their main targets.

That's why Assemblymember Dawn Addis and local leaders hosted a Senior Scam Stoppers event on Wednesday to help residents spot fraud before it's too late.

In May 2025, Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) proposed AB 1008, saying it would be "a vital source of revenue: for San Luis Obispo County."

At that time, Addis said, "This legislation supports our visitor-serving businesses, restaurants, and tasting rooms to expand their offerings."

In May, KSBY reported that Assembly Bill 1008 proposed by Assemblymember Dawn Addis aimed to bring 10 new liquor licenses to San Luis Obispo County. Last week, that bill was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom and will go into effect next year.

"It really is time to help our local businesses access new licenses," Addis said.

Amid shifting immigration policies and heightened federal enforcement, new funding from SB 104, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, will expand immigration services across the Central Coast.

Catholic Charities of the Central Coast will receive $1.5 million of a $5 million budget allocation secured by Assemblymembers Dawn Addis and Esmeralda Soria as part of a statewide effort to strengthen legal service infrastructure in underserved regions.

While immigration raids like the ones seen in Southern California and elsewhere across the country, have not occurred in the Central Coast, Addis, who represents Assembly District 30, which includes Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Luis Obispo counties, said many local families are living in fear and in need of trusted, legal advice.
