The 2023 Legislative session is officially already underway and has resulted in a record number of new bills being introduced in the California Assembly and Senate. In Sacramento, the deadline to introduce new bills has now passed, and the legislature has introduced the highest number of bills in more than a decade.

We are tracking more than 60 employment-related bills and an additional 33 employment-related “spot” bills (essentially placeholders that allow legislators to come back later and propose more substantive legislation). We have identified the “Top Ten” bills that – if passed – would have the most significant impact on California employers.
