Let the 'Christmas shopping spree' commence in Kenosha. Good Luck.

The Supreme Court has unequivocally stated that a “forcible injection… into a nonconsenting person’s body represents a substantial interference with that person’s liberty[.]” Washington v. Harper, 494 U.S. 210, 229 (1990)

@Ash_Kalra Yet still more effective than any bill you've introduced.

@LorenaSGonzalez @MarcosBreton @UFWupdates My guess is because he is a grower and not just a union shill with no real life experience. 😆

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

My guess is he vetoed this POS bill precisely because he is a grower and not just a union shill like @LorenaAD80 . She could use a little real life experience because if you read her bills, it's obvious she has none.

“Newsom vetoed CA farm worker bill because he is a grower. “

This veto made no sense. Thank you ⁦@MarcosBreton⁩ for not letting it get swept under the rug. We must demand respect for our Farmworkers & their union @UFWupdates.

OPPOSES @SB 727 @SenatorLeyva
SB 727 is a solution in search of a problem and there is no evidence that AB 1701’s remedies are insufficient. During a housing crisis, adding more risk, uncertainty, costs and delays to home production is misguided.

OPPOSES #SB443 & #SCA1 @SenateHertzberg
Any confusion about ballot measures can be traced back to the Attorney General's selection of title and description. Changing the meaning of 'YES' and 'NO' further confuses the public, not clarifies.

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

SUPPORTS #SB420 @SenatorUmberg
SB 420 will add accountability for UI fraud by creating a task force under the Attorney General to pursue and recover improper benefits payments.

OPPOSES #AB1177 @SantiagoAD53
AB 1177 conflates the challenges of unbanked vs. underbanked Californians. Proposed market analysis required should examine the question of why people are unbanked without presupposing that the BankCal program or public banking provide an answer.

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB1177 @LorenaAD80
AB 1074, initially a JOB KILLER, is simply another attempt by the author to inject union representation into a workplace that has not had the opportunity to vote on the matter.
@CASenateDems @SenateRepCaucus
Please vote #NO

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB857 @Ash_Kalra
AB 857 imposes duplicative and unnecessary disclosure requirements for employers of H-2A employees. Modifies existing law regarding when employee travel time must be compensated.
@CASenateDems @SenateRepCaucus

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB1041 @BuffyWicks
AB 1041 mandates a Significant Expansion of Family Leave and Paid Sick Leave. Even with the narrowing by amendment, it further burdens employers, especially small business owners.
@CASenateDems @SenateRepCaucus

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB654 @AsmReyes47
AB654 provides no health and safety benefit, but will shame both good and bad actors alike creating a scarlet letter for businesses, despite their inability to prevent employees from catching COVID-19 outside the workplace

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB364 @AsmRodriguez52
AB 364 Would require farm labor contractors to register under and comply with the requirements for foreign labor contractors, despite such contractors already being required to register and comply with their own pre-existing set of requirements.

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

SUPPORTS #AB332
AB 332 Would provide an option to manage and dispose of treated wood waste through alternative standards, a process that had been in place for decades before sun setting in 2020. #YES
@CASenateDems @SenateRepCaucus

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #AB284 @RobertRivas_CA
AB 284 Imposes a climate neutrality goal on California agricultural operations prior to the development of a state-wide climate neutrality plan, which will increase cost of food and potentially consolidate markets.
@CASenateDems @SenateRepCaucus

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #SB660 @JoshNewmanCA
SB 660 purports to address election integrity by punishing any person for paying for signature collection on a per-signature basis. Actually makes the ballot process even more expansive and tilts the game again ordinary citizens.

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

SUPPORTS #SB555 @ilike_mike
SB 555 would streamline a statewide system for collecting and dispensing Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue from short-term rental hosting platforms back to local communities.
@AsmRepublicans @AssemblyDems

[Southwest California Legislative Council @GadCalifornia]

OPPOSES #SB500 @SenDaveMin
Would deny Californians the substantial safety, mobility, economic, and environmental benefits offered by AVs. Onerous, costly, and impossible restrictions on trucking, which provides 80% of our goods.
