Every year, the legislative body of California introduces thousands of bills that aim to make the lives of the citizens better. These bills vary in their scope from education, taxation, and even your daily commute. Once the governor signs the bill and it becomes part of the California Statutes, it will affect you and your way of living in one way or another. In 2017, almost 900 bills were passed by the legislature and signed by the governor to take effect in 2018 and here are some that.
California Governor Jerry Brown approved Assembly Bill 168 last October 12, 2017. The bill added a new section to the California Labor Code (Section 432.3) and became effective last January 1, 2018. The law prohibits employers from asking for a job applicant’s salary history information which includes the applicant’s compensation and benefits from their last job. California has followed the steps taken by Massachusetts (signed in 2016, effective July 2018), Oregon (signed in 2017, effective 2019), Delaware (signed in 2017, effective December 2017). New York City also has.
