Civil actions: protective orders: workplace violence.

Summary

The bill amends California’s civil procedure rules so an employer or a collective bargaining representative can petition a court for a temporary restraining order and a follow‑up order on behalf of an employee or a clearly defined group of employees who face harassment, unlawful violence, or a credible threat of violence. It requires the employer to give the affected employee a chance to decline being named, but does not require naming anyone when the order protects a whole group. The changes aim to make it easier for workplaces to obtain swift protection against violence while preserving constitutional rights.
