Veterans Day

There’s no way to thank our veterans for everything they sacrifice for our freedom, but on Veterans Day, we have to try.

Veterans Day is a good time to remember that our freedom isn’t guaranteed. It’s protected by the men and women in our Armed Services. To those who secure our way of life… thank you!

CBPA Board Meeting Next Week

On Tuesday, CBPA will hold its last board meeting of the year over Zoom.

We are very excited to review the state of the association, November election results, our year of advocacy through the legislative process, and the future momentum of the association.

We can't wait to see some of your familiar faces over Zoom, and to elect the new officers of the CBPA Board for 2023!

See you there!

Feature Story - CalChamber:

Cal/OSHA Considers Removing Exclusion Pay

from New COVID Rule

“As the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) prepares to vote on the next iteration of California’s COVID-19 emergency regulation, one important change being considered is whether to extend California employers’ obligation to provide exclusion pay to all workers out on leave.”

Feature Story - CalChamber:

Privacy Rights Act Provisions Take Effect Jan. 1

“Originally passed in 2018 and effective in 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law aimed at enhancing California residents’ privacy rights and consumer protection.

To ensure those privacy rights and protections, the act requires covered businesses to follow strict privacy requirements regarding personal information they collect about consumers, such as requiring a covered business to notify consumers about the kinds of personal information it collects about them and what it’s used for.”

Bill Ideas for 2023 -

There Outta be a Law!

We are making our annual call for bill ideas! Before the Legislature reconvenes in January, we need your ideas on proactive changes to the law that our industry should consider pursuing.

Are there issues in statute that could be made better, more efficacious?

Something not addressed in statute that should be fixed?

Let us know so we can do the needed research and work with authors to get a bill introduced by the appropriate deadlines. Please reach out to Mathew (mhargrove@cbpa.com) or Rex W. (rhime@cbpa.com) with your valuable input as soon as possible.
