BOMA California is actively advocating against AB 2374 (Haney; D – San Francisco), which would transform the Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act into a joint liability statute under which any size company becomes liable for the failure of a contractor to comply with the Act. If passed, companies would be responsible for new notice and scheduling obligations for workers who are not its employees. Further, AB 2374 sets a troubling precedent by binding an employer to a collective bargaining agreement that its new employee was previously under even though that employer had no role whatsoever in the bargaining process.

Yesterday, The California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) released its initial 2024 job killer list which, to date, includes nine bills dealing with labor and employment, taxation, unemployment insurance, environmental and health care issues. CalChamber expects several additions to the list in the coming weeks.

BOMA California partners with CalChamber and other organizations with common interests to advocate against job killer bills and promote legislation that will support economic competitiveness and job growth.

Join BOMA California partner California Commission on Disability Access (CCDA) for a discussion on disability access for small businesses, including tips to ensure your business is ready to accommodate all customers. This session is available to attend in-person in Salinas, CA or online. 

CCDA was formed as a result of legislation passed in 2008 spearheaded by our industry, the disability community, the Consumer Attorneys of California, the CalChamber, and other stakeholders. Last year BOMA California Board Member Sarahann Shapiro was appointed as our industry’s designated representative to CCDA.
