Having your commute reduced has a huge effect for when you're at work or when you're at home. I see it has a positive effect on everyone I saw at work today."

VICA Success with Governor's Signatures and Vetoes
|
 Last week marked Governor Gavin Newsom's final deadline to sign or veto bills approved by the Legislature. The Valley can expect more housing construction after Governor Newsom signed VICA-sponsored AB 1560 by Assemblymember Laura Friedman, which expands the definition of Major Transit Stop, allowing more affordable housing to be constructed along bus rapid transit (BRT) lines. Governor Newsom also signed SB 330, which temporarily changes housing laws to expedite housing construction, and AB 1197, which exempts future supportive housing projects in Los Angeles from CEQA.
Governor Newsom signed bills which provide clarifications for the California Consumer Privacy Act. AB 25 allows employers to collect information within an employment context, and AB 1564 clarifies which methods companies can offer to consumers to submit personal information requests.
The Governor sided with VICA by vetoing AB 1451, which would have made restrictions on signature-gathering for petitions, barring many from participating in the democratic process. The Governor also vetoed the shortsighted SB 1, which would have made California businesses less competitive and would have negatively impacted the water supply in the Central Valley and Southern California.
Despite overwhelming opposition from Los Angeles voters, a bill allowing the formation of risky public banks was signed into law. VICA will continue to urge the City of Los Angeles to reconsider its own plans for a public bank. |

Predictive Scheduling Proposal
|
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council Economic Development Committee moved forward with a proposed predictive scheduling ordinance. The ordinance would require retail employers with over 300 employees globally to provide schedules 14 days in advance, and includes many other components including extensive record-keeping requirements and a private right of action. VICA shared concerns, asking for clarifications on the requirement for employers to provide a good-faith estimate of average hours, the four-year record keeping requirement, the application of penalties, and the introduction of a private right of action. VICA continues to work closely with Council staff to ensure the new predictive scheduling ordinance works for both employees and employers.
