CTBA Year End Legislative Update

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Oct. 14, 2002) -- The legislative summaries in this update include those bills that were monitored and/or lobbied on behalf of California Thoroughbred Breeders Association, that were either signed or vetoed by the Governor, with the exception of several bills that either died in committee or on the floor of the Assembly or Senate.

CTBA staff encourages all association members to review the bills that were signed into law to familiarize yourselves with the provisions that will affect you.

Of particular interest to members are the following bills:

AB 2596, Wesson and SB 1156, Burton -- Both deal with Agricultural Labor Relations Act and require mediation under certain conditions, and give the ALRB additional powers in contract negotiations.
