With Test Run Budget Passed, Real Negotiations Have
Begun
Last week was the Constitutional deadline for the Legislature to
pass a budget. However this budget will not be signed by the
Governor in order to close a $45 billion deficit. To address the
budget crisis, the Governor and Democrats in the Legislature are
crafting language to raise taxes on businesses while also
borrowing from special funds — including education funding
mandated under the voter-approved Proposition 98.
With House of Origin Deadline Passed, Legislature Tackles
State Budget Crisis
The House of Origin deadline was last Friday, and roughly 35% of
the 2,159 bills introduced this year died — a dramatic increase
from historical norms. Many of the bills that were killed would
have had a significant effect on the state budget deficit, which
is estimated to be $44.9 billion this year, despite early budget
actions that were taken to reduce the deficit by approximately $7
billion.
Committees Continue – Bills Passing and Being
Amended
Legislators have been consumed this week with hundreds of bills
being heard in committee — amended and voted upon.
WMA provided testimony on six separate bills this week. We
opposed three, supported two, and were neutral on another. The
list of bills and a description of them can be found below.
As of January 1, 2024, employers must generally provide 5 days or
40 hours of paid sick leave to their employees in California. The
Labor Commissioner has updated the paid sick leave poster. All
employers should post the new poster. An employer previously
providing less than 5 days or 40 hours of paid sick leave per
year will need to provide employees a new copy notice.
