The California Chamber of Commerce is urging businesses to contact their Senate and Assembly representatives to help stop two “job killer” bills from reaching the Senate and Assembly floors. Today is the last day for the appropriations committees to meet and send bills to the floor.
• AB 10 (Alejo; D-Salinas) Automatic Minimum Wage Increase. This “job killer” unfairly imposes an automatic $2 increase in the minimum wage over the next five years, that will continue to increase costs on employers of all sizes, regardless of other economic factors or costs that California employers are struggling with to sustain their business. On Senate Appropriations Committee Suspense File.
• SB 404 (Jackson; D-Santa Barbara) Expansion of Discrimination Litigation. This “job killer” makes it virtually impossible for employers to manage their employees and exposes them to a higher risk of litigation by expanding the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to include a protected classification for any person who is, perceived to be, or associated with an individual who provides medical or supervisory care to a listed family member. On Assembly Appropriations Committee Suspense File.
