SACRAMENTO, CA — The Fix PAGA Coalition — represented by the California Restaurant Association, California Chamber of Commerce, California New Car Dealers Association, Western Growers Association, and California Retailers Association — issued the following statement on Senate Bill 310 being moved to the Senate inactive file: 

“Government works best when important issues are addressed through substantive, good-faith negotiations. 

“That’s what took place in 2024, when a sweeping agreement provided a lifeline to California business owners drowning in a sea of frivolous workplace lawsuits. Workers benefited, too, with a faster and better way to resolve their claims. 

“These were important, thoughtful modifications to the state’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), changes that will mark their first anniversary in less than a month. 

“On Thursday, the state Senate confirmed the agreement remains strong by choosing to not take action on Senate Bill 310.”
