California Countdown 2018: Which Labor and Employment Bills Will the Governor Sign?

September 1, 2018 marked the last day for the California legislature to pass bills and forward them to Governor Jerry Brown (D) for his consideration. Governor Brown has until September 30 to sign, veto, or otherwise decline to act upon these bills. The bills that become law will take effect on January 1, 2019, unless otherwise specified in the text of the measure. As always, the long list of bills crossing the governor’s desk includes numerous labor and employment items that could impact the operations of private employers in the Golden State.
