Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 4 p.m.
Summary
The bill expands California's labor protections by making it unlawful for any employer or other party to use real or perceived immigration status to punish or deter employees from asserting any right under state, local, or federal employment laws. It targets practices such as demanding extra documents, misusing E‑Verify, or threatening immigration authorities, and imposes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. The goal is to protect immigrant workers from intimidation and ensure they can report violations without fear.
