SB 1105 allows agricultural workers to take paid sick leave in hazardous conditions, like extreme heat, emphasizing the importance of worker safety as climate change worsens.
AB 2123 ensures employees can access California paid family leave without having to exhaust their accrued vacation, enhancing benefits for working families.
