In both spirit and substance, SB 310 sought to again open the door to unscrupulous attorneys seeking costly settlements to their frivolous lawsuits \u2014 changes that would have done nothing to help employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope the decision to set aside SB 310 will convince legislators to accept the landmark PAGA reform as it now stands, a reform effort that\u2019s already having significant benefits in workplaces across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The coalition members include the California Chamber of Commerce, the California New Car Dealers Association, the California Restaurant Association, the California Retailers Association, and the Western Growers Association.<\/p>\n<p>        &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n                        &#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/advocacy.calchamber.com\/author\/calchamber\/\" aria-label=\"author-photo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-del=\"avatar\" alt=\"CalChamber\" src=\"https:\/\/advocacy.calchamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/CalChamber-IconColor.svg\" class=\"avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-96 photo \" height=\"96\" width=\"96\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The California Chamber of Commerce is the largest, broad-based business advocate to government in California, working at the state and federal levels to influence government actions affecting all California business.
