California's bill to amend the state's advance notification statute passed the Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment and was then referred to the Committee on Appropriations where the bil has received two hearings and remains pending. However certain deadlines for fiscal approval have passed and it is uncertain whether further action on the bill will occur this year. After its introduction, the bill was targeted by chamber of commerce organizations who have far too-frequently opposed sustainable and ethical business practices Our friends in the business community are encouraged to contact their local chambers of commerce and support policies, leadership and business organizations who advance ethical and sustainable business practices.
In Rhode Island, the Worker Protection and Job Loss Notification Act has been held for further study on the recommendation of the House Labor Committee.
