"Remote work not only increases worker efficiency but also helps state workers who are struggling to pay bills. It costs state workers roughly $6,000 a year to come into office four times a week."
"AB 1729 would require each state agency to develop its own teleworking plan and assist in developing remote-work options, potentially saving the state as much as $225 million a year in office space."
"Remote and hybrid workplaces are becoming the standard for a wide range of jobs. The state had an online dashboard showing the benefits of telework from 2020 to 2024, and that AB 1729 would bring it back."
"In-person work makes us all stronger - period. When we work together, collaboration improves, innovation thrives, and accountability increases."
Assemblymember Alex Lee's bill AB 1729 aims to allow California state workers to continue teleworking. The bill requires state agencies to create teleworking plans and offers remote work options. Supporters argue that telework enhances efficiency and helps workers financially. Estimates suggest that remote work could save the state $225 million annually in office space costs. The bill contrasts with Governor Newsom's executive order mandating in-person work four days a week, emphasizing collaboration and accountability in the workplace.
