There are several bills that we need Governor Brown to hear us on! Contact Governor Brown TODAY and ask him to VETO these bad bills for California!
AB 1522 (Gonzales, D): The good news is that this bill was amended to less of a burden on California employers. The bad news is it is still an unnecessary mandate for employers that will drive even more businesses out of the state and employers will be forced to pass that burden onto consumers. AB 1522 now requires that California employers provide three paid sick leave days to all their employees.
SB 270 (Padilla, D): This narrowly passed bill now bans all plastic bags from grocers and retailers throughout California. Not only a ban, but a tax on Californians, who will now be charged 10 cents to use a paper bag or reusable bag. This will put thousands of plastic bag manufacturer workers out of work in California. This is useless legislation and must be stopped!
SB 1077 (DeSaulnier, D): The recently amended "Road Usage Fees" bill (from "Mileage Based Fees," same function, different name) passed through the legislature and is waiting for Governor Brown's signature. This bill creates a pilot program for the California Transportation Commission to begin to tax California automobile users by the number of miles they drive per day. The tax revenue from gas taxes just isn't the same in California since everyone and their mother drives a hybrid, so the Democrats have gotten creative on how they can take our money. This bill unfairly targets rural drivers who have to drive further for basic necessities and blue collar Californians who commute everyday.
