Final Status Report Shows Major Battles for Business

This edition of Alert includes a report summarizing final action on the many bills tracked and acted upon by the California Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the business community.

In addition to leading negotiations resulting in the passage of a landmark bill package reforming California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), the CalChamber helped shape a bipartisan package of retail reforms providing law enforcement and prosecutors with tools to fight organized crime rings and retail thieves.

CalChamber-sponsored legislation to support literacy in artificial intelligence (AI) has been signed into law, along with other supported measures. Strong advocacy by the CalChamber policy team has stopped numerous proposals that would have harmed job creation and the economy or secured amendments to remove the most onerous provisions of bills.
