Priority Legislation Continued from page 5


several legislative proposals to deal with workers’ compensation. Initially, all of them were very broad and far reaching. AGC succeeded in having SB 1159 amended significantly so as not to have a direct application to the construction industry. All other measures failed to make it through the legislative process and AGC moved to neutral on this bill. Tis bill was signed into law by the


Governor. AB 2257 (Gonzalez) Worker


Classification: Employees and Independent Contractors: Occupa- tions: Professional Services. Tis measure further exempts


certain business sectors from last year’s AB 5 legislation. Additionally, the bill further refines exemptions for business-


to-business relationships. While the measure does not address our concerns, AGC continues to engage on all AB 5 related legislation. Tis bill was signed into law by the


Governor. AB 3216 (Kalra) –


Unemployment: Rehiring and Retention: State of Emergency. Tis bill requires an employer, as


defined, to offer its laid-off employees specified information about job positions that become available for which the laid-off employees are qualified, and to offer positions to those laid-off employees based on a preference system, in accordance with specified timelines and procedures. Te bill would define the term “laid-off employee” to mean any employee who was employed by the employer for


six months or more in the 12 months preceding the state of emergency. Amendments were taken by the


author to exclude the construction industry which removed our opposition to this “right of recall” union sponsored bill.


Bill was signed into law by the


Governor. OPPOSE


SB 1383 (Jackson) – Unlawful


Employment Practice: Family Leave. Tis bill makes it an unlawful


employment practice for any employer to refuse to grant a request by an employee to take up to 12 work weeks of unpaid protected leave during any 12-month period to bond with a new child of the employee or to care for themselves or a child, parent, grand- parent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner. AGC was part of a large employer
