Governor Vetoes Last CalChamber Identified Job Killer Bill of 2017-2018 Legislative Session
|
|
|
AB 3080 Would Have Banned Arbitration Agreements Beneficial to Employees, Employers, Courts
The last CalChamber identified Job Killer bill of the 2017-2018 Legislative Session,
AB 3080 (Gonzalez Fletcher), has been vetoed by Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
“We are grateful to the Governor for vetoing this bill and recognizing that, had it become law, AB 3080 would have been preempted by federal law. The Governor’s veto saved California employers from significant amount of unnecessary litigation,” said Allan Zaremberg, CalChamber President and CEO.
In his
veto message, the Governor indicated, “since this bill plainly violates federal law, I cannot sign this measure.”
