Cal Chamber 2022 Job Killer List As your Business Chamber of Commerce, we keep ourselves and our Members up to date on the latest news that affects your business. The CalChamber of Commerce annually posts bills that may negatively impact your company.  Three bills identified by the California Chamber of Commerce as job killers were held in legislative fiscal committees on May 19, and therefore will not be advancing this year. The list of active job killer bills has been reduced to nine bills, including two carry-over proposals from 2021. CalChamber monitors changes in legislation and will add bills to the list as appropriate. “California companies are the economic engine that drives innovation and job creation in our state and are responsible for the record revenues the state is currently experiencing,” - CalChamber CEO Jennifer Barrera

AB 2932 Increased Overtime Requirement  Significantly increases labor costs by imposing an overtime pay requirement after 32 hours and other requirements that are impossible to comply with, exposing employers to litigation under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).  SB 1162 Publication of Pay Data  Encourages litigation against employers based on the publication of broad, unreliable data collected by the state. Undermines employers’ ability to hire, imposes administrative and record keeping requirements that are impossible to implement, and subjects employers to a private right of action and penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).

AB 1651 Workplace Technology  Imposes overbroad, unworkable mandates on employers of all sizes, including public entities and tribal communities, that would reduce worker privacy, chill the development of new technologies, and wipe out small businesses for even a good faith mistake due to its excessively punitive enforcement mechanisms. SB 213 Workers’ Compensation Presumption: Hospital Employees. Expands Costly Presumption of Injury Significantly increases workers’ compensation costs for public and private hospitals by presuming certain diseases and injuries are caused by the workplace and establishes an extremely concerning precedent for expanding presumptions into the private sector. 2021 carry-over bill.
