The 2024 Legislative Session drew to a close at the end of August with a flurry of legislative activity following the summer recess. Preliminarily, there were several new employment bills that have already been signed into law including substantial amendments to California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) and the extension of the small employer family leave mediation program.

Not surprisingly, a number of other employment bills were passed by both chambers of the Legislature and have been sent to Governor Gavin Newsom for signature or veto.

Looking ahead, Governor Newsom has until September 30, 2024 to sign or veto the bills passed by the Legislature.

We identify the employment bills that have already been signed into law, as well as the employment bills currently awaiting Governor Newsom’s signature or veto.
