SB 799 would allow private attorneys to bring lawsuits against taxpayers and give rise to the types of harassment that already plague California under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), disability access laws (ADA) and Proposition 65. Govern For California has joined with the California Chamber of Commerce, Technet and others to oppose the legislation. Nothing is more dangerous to California taxpayers than politicians eager to please government unions and trial lawyers with voracious appetites for ever-greater taxes and legal fees.
Govern For California sent letters of opposition from 279 members of our network to Senators Allen, Caballero, McGuire and McNerney.
Thanks in part to this effort, SB 799 was stopped in committee and will not advance.
