Legislation

The Senate has heard over 550 bills and the Assembly has heard over 1,000 bills this year! Many of these bills are bad, but there are some that will help Californians.

SB 224 will help law enforcement agencies combat agriculture theft. The bill will create a new section in the Penal Code for theft of agricultural property, which will identify the theft of agriculture equipment, or property including tractors and all-terrain vehicles, as a separate crime.

SB 238 will conform California’s test for determining employment status for purposes of wage orders to the test established by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

SB 683 will increase transparency and accountability for the state’s 21 regional centers.

SJR 12 urges Congress to pass the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This agreement has been proposed as a solution to a variety of shortcomings in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
