Earlier this month, we asked you to email Governor Newsom to take action on five priority bills as soon as possible. Alhamdulillah because of your advocacy, as of this past weekend, all five bills have been signed!
- AB 9 (Workplace Discrimination) would extend the deadline to file a complaint alleging employment discrimination from one year to three years.
- AB 1215 (Body Camera Accountability Act) would prevent law enforcement from using facial recognition or other biometrics in body cameras. This equipment is inaccurate and a violation of our privacy.
- AB 32 (Private Prisons) would prohibit the Department of Corrections from contracting with private, for-profit prisons to incarcerate people in California.
- AB 849 (The FAIR MAPS Act) would establish stronger procedures and standards for city and county redistricting, enabling a more representative government for all Californians.
- AB 1790 (Online Marketplace) would tighten privacy protections for consumers in online marketplaces and would restrict use of data beyond the purpose for which it was collected. It would further prohibit companies from charging higher prices to consumers who exercise their privacy rights.
