In a recent government meeting, significant progress was made on two key bills aimed at enhancing transparency and compliance in labor practices.

The first bill, AB 3143, received unanimous support from the committee, with a motion to pass it to the appropriations committee. The bill's proponent, Senator D'Arasso, expressed appreciation for the initiative, highlighting its importance in protecting tip classifications. The motion was passed with a vote of 3 to 0, with additional votes expected from absent members.

The second bill, AB 3234, presented by Senator Durazo on behalf of Assembly Member Liz Ortega, mandates that companies undergoing voluntary social compliance audits disclose findings related to child labor on their websites. This legislation aims to promote transparency, enabling consumers to make informed choices and shareholders to assess company performance regarding compliance with child labor laws. The committee also voted unanimously in favor of this bill, with a 4 to 0 vote to advance it to appropriations.

The meeting concluded with a brief recess as members awaited additional presenters, indicating ongoing discussions and potential future legislation on labor issues.
